Democrats Show Stronger Voter Turnout in 2026 Primary Elections

As of July 2, 57% of primary votes in 31 states were cast for Democratic candidates, marking a 10-point increase from 2022 and a 3-point rise from 2018. Despite a generally negative perception of both parties, Democratic voters have shown higher motivation to participate, with Texas reporting record turnout for its Democratic primary.

Cuban Vice Prime Minister Defends Economic Reforms Amid U.S. Tensions

Óscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, Cuba's Vice Prime Minister, recently defended a new set of economic reforms approved by the National Assembly, asserting they are not a response to U.S. pressure but part of a long-term strategy to improve the island's economy. The reforms, encompassing 176 measures across various sectors, aim to attract foreign investment and enhance economic dynamism. However, analysts caution that ongoing U.S. sanctions and a lack of legal security may hinder their effectiveness. The reforms also include a shift from universal subsidies to targeted assistance, reflecting a significant change in the government's approach to social welfare.
