Claudia Sheinbaum: New President of Mexico's Election Victory in 3 Charts

Welcome to the Bulletin,
- Hunter Biden trial: Jury selection begins today in the federal gun case against Hunter Biden, as a deal with prosecutors collapses ahead of the 2024 election. Here's everything to know as the trial is set to begin this week in Delaware.
- Trump rally bus crash: Donald Trump-themed RV, almost completely covered in posters praising the former president, crashed into a utility pole on Sunday. Find out more.
- California heatwave warning: Parts of California are expected to be under an excessive heat warning this week, with forecasters predicting sweltering temperatures up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit between Monday and Thursday. Here's what to expect.
- In the ongoing war in Ukraine, Ukraine will be able to use F-16 fighter jets donated by the Netherlands to strike targets inside Russia, as Kyiv awaits the arrival of 24 American-made aircraft from the NATO ally.
TL/DR: "For the first time in 200 years, I will become the first woman president of Mexico," Sheinbaum told supporters, according to Reuters.
Claudia Sheinbaum has won a landslide victory to become Mexico's first female president. A climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, Sheinbaum secured the presidency with between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, according to Mexico's electoral authority. "For the first time in 200 years, I will become the first woman president of Mexico," Sheinbaum told supporters, according to Reuters.
Why it matters: Sheinbaum, 61, is the first woman to win a general election in the U.S., Mexico, or Canada, and her victory marks the highest vote percentage in Mexico's democratic history. Opposition candidate Xochitl Galvez conceded after receiving between 26.6% and 28.6% of the vote. Her win represents a significant step for Mexico, which is known for its macho culture and traditional values.

What happens now? Although the Electoral Court must still validate the election, Sheinbaum is expected to take office on October 1 officially. Immigration experts told Newsweek that the new president will have to play a vital role in the country's relationship with the United States, including more progress toward limiting illegal migrant crossings, which could lead to economic benefits for all. Mexican officials expect these negotiations to be more difficult if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidency in November.
TL/DR: The charge of falsifying business records is a Class E felony in New York and is punishable by up to four years in prison. Other punishments could include house arrest, a fine, or probation.
Donald Trump has called for the Supreme Court to intervene in his hush money criminal case.
Why it matters: On Thursday, a jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election by Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen. Commenting on the verdict on Sunday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that the nation's highest court should step in. The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority, including three justices who Trump appointed.

What happens now? Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11, days before Republicans are expected to pick Trump as their nominee in the presidential election formally. The charge of falsifying business records is a Class E felony in New York and is punishable by up to four years in prison. Other punishments could include house arrest, a fine, or probation. He has also been charged in three criminal cases, but it is unclear if any of them will go to trial before November.
TL/DR: South Korea's defense chief, Shin Won-sik, described the move as "petty and low-grade behavior."
South Korea announced Monday it will suspend a rapprochement deal with North Korea in response to its balloon launches, despite North Korea's promise to halt the campaign, according to the Associated Press.
Why it matters: North Korea said "15 tons of wastepaper," carried by thousands of balloons, was sent across the border to the South in retaliation for propaganda leaflets denigrating Kim Jong Un. North Korea's vice defense minister claimed over 3,500 balloons were sent. According to the presidential office, South Korea's presidential national security council has suspended a 2018 inter-Korean agreement to ease animosities until mutual trust between the two Koreas is restored.

What happens now? Pyongyang said it would temporarily stop sending trash balloons as a countermeasure if Seoul prevents "anti-DPRK leaflet scattering" by South Korean activists, referring to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the North.
TL/DR: On Saturday, a debate hosted at the Grizzly Rose by the Republican Women of Weld and the Lincoln Club of Colorado aimed to unite Boebert and five of her rivals in the GOP primary.
Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican running for reelection in the state's 4th Congressional District, was absent from a debate on Saturday as her GOP rivals took aim at her.
Why it matters: In December 2023, Boebert, a Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner currently representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced she wanted to run for the state's traditionally more conservative 4th District. During Saturday's debate, all five of Boebert's rivals criticized the congresswoman for voting against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election in the hours following the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, as they said they would not have joined her in doing so.

Lauren Boebert Called Out by White House: 'Voted Against'
What happens now? Boebert will have to defeat state Representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, ex-state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg, business owner Peter Yu, and former talk radio presenter Deborah Flora to secure the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th District. However, she is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetical matchup for Colorado's 4th District.
TL/DR: This particularly active season is expected to result from a combination of factors, including near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean.
Experts told Newsweek that a very active Atlantic hurricane season this year, as forecasted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), could further destabilize Florida's vulnerable insurance market.
Why it matters: Florida has already seen its home insurance premiums rise by 102 percent in the past three years due to a combination of excessive litigation, widespread fraud, and the increased risk of more frequent and severe extreme weather events. The situation worsened because of the withdrawal of several private insurers who either cut policies or even left the state entirely to avoid paying damage claims higher than the profits they could make. This has left many Floridian homeowners scrambling to get coverage and relying on the state's insurer of last resort, Citizens.

Map Shows States Expected to See Home Insurance Prices Surge
What happens now? Florida, Texas, and Louisiana face significant threats, potentially leading to insurer insolvencies and higher homeowner costs. While Florida authorities have been trying to stop the ongoing crisis and stabilize insurance premiums, a disastrous hurricane season —predicted to have an 85 percent chance of above-normal season with 17 to 25 storms— could shake things up again for the worse.
Map Shows Which States Have The Highest Rates of Firearm Deaths
Mississippi has the highest rate of gun deaths of any U.S. state, according to a new report.
With a gun death rate per capita at 18.23 deaths per 100,000 people, Mississippi has the highest number of deaths from firearms relative to the population, followed by Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, and Missouri.
This report was authored by personal injury lawyers Scott Vicknair, using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and reveals the rate of gun deaths—not including suicides—across all U.S. states.
