Pro-Trump candidate takes lead in Colombia’s presidential race with promise of crime crackdown

Pro-Trump candidate Aberaldo de la Espriella leads Colombia's presidential race with 44% of the vote, surpassing progressive senator Iván Cepeda (41%). De la Espriella, who promises a crackdown on crime modeled after El Salvador's Bukele, faces Cepeda in a June 21 runoff. Experts doubt his strategy can replicate Bukele's success due to Colombia's size and complexity.
