The Western Hemisphere is turning right.
Colombia lived today with strong emotions as Trump-allied right-wing Abelardo De La Espriella won Colombia’s Presidential election run-off by a small margin.
Espriella beat Iván Cepeda Castro. The candidate is supported by the current leftist president, Gustavo Petro.
Espriella got just under 50% of the vote, clearing a small margin of less than half a million votes over Cepeda.
