Mexicans vote in massive election
A person holds a sign with a message that reads in Spanish: “We are all the same Mexico,” at an opposition rally called to encourage voting in the upcoming election, in the Zocalo, Mexico City’s main square, May 19, 2024.
Mexico heads to the polls this weekend for its largest-ever election, with more than 20,000 positions up for grabs — including local, state and congressional offices, as well as the office of the president. Also, a range of reactions from European leaders to the news of former President Donald Trump’s hush-money conviction. And, data shows that the number of Canadians heading south to live in the US has jumped 70%. Plus, a conversation with National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek about traversing Uzbekistan as part of his 24,000 mile Out of Eden Walk.
