hello sunshine welcome to CNN 10 go on
and smell the flowers and cool the soup
we made it to Friday baby fry yay let's
finish this week strong I'm KY wire
let's start today by taking a look at
the possible implications of the special
election that took place in New York
earlier this week Democrat Tom swazi
defeated Republican Mazy Philip in New
York's thirdd congressional district
election this election took place to
replace expelled former GOP
representative George Santos who's
facing federal charges that include
money laundering and lying to
investigators sasi's win is significant
because it helps Democrats tighten the
already slim majority the Republicans
have in the House of Representatives
their control now slips down to just six
votes and the repercussions may not end
there our Lauren Fox explains what this
might mean for both parties as they try
to win over voters in the upcoming
presidential election
season a democratic victory in New York
shrinking an already narrow Republican
majority in the house let me just enjoy
this for one more minute okay as the GOP
grapples with what it means for their
chances in November the result last
night is is not something in my view
that democrats should celebrate too much
there was a weather event that uh that
affected out there are a lot of factors
there that is in no way a bellweather of
what's going to happen this fall many in
the party arguing former three-term
Congressman Tom swazi won in a district
where he had high Name ID against a
relatively unknown GOP opponent I think
it was a little bit of the you know the
devil you know versus the devil you
don't know but the special election in
the New York suburbs still a key
opportunity for both parties to test
drive their messages and a sign for
Democrats that they may be able to play
offense EV on immigration one of the
most difficult issues facing them this
cycle if the Democrats are going to out
going to try to campaign on wanting to
secure the Border we should actually
call their Bluff and make them do it
right now on the trail Republican Mazy
pup hammered swasi On the Border in a
district where a migrant shelter was
built just last summer we are Fighters
but swasi attacked his opponent for not
having Solutions and instead embraced a
bipartisan Senate Bill aimed at cracking
down on Asylum claim and more quickly
processing and deporting migrants that
come to the US illegally Tom
swazi talked about
issues fixing challenges solving
problems the district which Biden won by
eight points in 2020 has emerged as a
key Battleground for republicans in
recent years with a powerful party
apparatus that helped elect George
Santos and a new class of GOP
congressmen in 2022 both parties view
those Suburban districts as key to
winning the majority in
2024 now this year there are several
major elections happening around the
world with people in some of the world's
largest democracies looking to vote on
their next leaders one of them Indonesia
it's the third largest democracy in the
world with more than 270 million people
it appears that 72-year-old prooo subono
won the Southeast Asian country's
presidential elections with unofficial
results showing him win nearly 60% of
the vote subbiano who's a former
military General has a controversial
past at one point he was banned from
entering the United States our
International correspondent Anna Corin
provides more insight on who this new
leader is and what it may mean for
Indonesia and Beyond this is a job that
prooo subianto has wanted for a very
long time he staged a Takeover in 1998
after the fall of the Sahar dictatorship
but failed he ran for president in 2014
and 2019 but lost both times to Joko W
Doo and then falsely claimed the
election had been stolen the 72-year-old
will be Indonesia's next president the
quick count a reliable pollster shows he
won almost 60% of the vote which means
there will be no runoff and as the votes
were being counted he addressed the
media while doing laps in his indoor
swing well official results from the
Electoral Commission won't be revealed
until next
month but when he greeted supporters
last night at a Jakarta Sports Stadium
it may as well have been a Victory
celebration he received a rockstar
welcome where he said this was a victory
for all Indonesians take a
listen this Victory must be the victory
of the people of
[Applause]
Indonesia prooo gabron and and all of
the Indonesia forward Coalition will
embrace all elements and powers and
become the president vice president and
government pres for all the people of
Indonesia but claims of vote rigging and
massive fraud have been made from the
other presidential candidates who vowed
to investigate and there have been a
number of small protests staged in
Jakarta today prooo has an alarming
history a former General under the Sahar
dictatorship he's been accused of Human
Rights abuses kid napping pro-democracy
activists in the 1990s and ordering the
massacre of Independence fighters in
East teore in the 1980s accusations he
denies at one point he was banned from
entering the United States and Australia
but prooo has had a dramatic image
makeover thanks in part to a slick
social media campaign perhaps most
importantly has been the endorsement by
president jakoi he's still wildly
popular and credited for the country's
solid economic growth but he's reached
his two-term limit and cannot run again
but his eldest son 36-year-old gibram
rakab booming Rucka is pao's running
mate now it's important to note that
half of Indonesia's voters are under the
age of 40 many weren't born or too young
to remember pao's alleged human rights
abuses and of course the narrative has
been Rewritten prooo is now a Statesman
cud grandfather who loves to dance on
stage and who's campaigned as a
continuity candidate but critics are
very concerned about what this means for
the world's third largest democracy and
if prooo who has previously said that
Indonesia needs an authoritarian leader
that under his Reign the country will
slide back to its authoritarian
past Pop Quiz hot shot a typical
