1. Puerto Rico's new governor will be Jenniffer González, who won almost 40% of the votes on Tuesday.
González, who belongs to the pro-statehood New Progressive Party and is the non-voting Puerto Rican representative in the U.S. Congress, campaigned with promises to lower living costs on the island.
2. A last-ditch effort in Mexico to stop a judicial reform that analysts say could break checks and balances and lead to partisan control of the courts failed on Tuesday.
Seven Supreme Court members voted to discuss amendments to the reform, but eight votes were needed. The amendments would've made it so only some judgeships instead of all would be up for election.
