Ahead of the December 14 vote, how are the two presidential candidates approaching top issues?

A thin margin separates Trump-endorsed Tito Asfura of the National Party and Salvador Nasralla of the Liberals in a partial preliminary vote count.

Leftist Jeannette Jara won the first round, but her right-wing opponent, José Antonio Kast, leads polls in the race to succeed Gabriel Boric.

With final results pending, the leftist ruling party appears defeated, and two conservative candidates seem headed for a photo finish.

"President Trump had some very strong views on this election and he made them known," said the AS/COA vice president to the broadcast news outlet.

A regional realignment appears to be taking shape. How durable could it be?

São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, a right-wing Wall Street darling, seems close to deciding on a 2026 run for president.
