Santiago de Chile, Jul 17 (EFE).- A year and a half after protests put the country's institutionality on the ropes and in a polarized Latin America, Chile opted for moderation on Sunday with the election of former government minister Sebastian Sichel and former student leader Gabriel Boric as candidates for the presidential elections in November.Against all odds and defying the polls once again, Sichel and Boric prevailed by a wide margin over political heavyweights who had emerged as favorites over recent weeks, including the ultraconservative former mayor Jaoquín Lavín and the communist mayor Daniel Jadue.

Americans overwhelmingly say that Trump is responsible on some level for the Capitol siege. 76% said Trump bears a "great deal" or "a lot" of responsibility. Less than one-fifth said the president is blameless for the riot at the Capitol. Trump was impeached over the Capitol siege on Wednesday, says Business Insider. This is the second impeachment for Trump, making him the only President to be impeached twice.
Historically, the transfer of power from the outgoing president to the president-elect has been peaceful. The cooperative effort is a historic precedent dating back to the Adams administration in 1800. As President Donald Trump's term comes to an end, he and his administration have blocked a peaceful transition. The world is watching and a majority of Americans disapprove of the Trump administration's transition efforts. According to Business Insider, Trump and his team have repeatedly placed hurdles in the way of the Biden administration. Recent polling shows that 54% of respondents disapproved of Trump's actions surrounding the transfer of power.
President-elect Joe Biden has picked his nominee to run the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. According to Business Insider, Biden will nominate Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio. If confirmed, she'll become the first Black woman in the position. The pick will likely ease the minds of some legislators and activists who were concerned about a perceived lack of diversity among Biden's Cabinet picks. Representing the urban Cleveland-area district, Fudge had publicly lobbied to become Biden's Secretary of Agriculture in recent days. HUD is a sprawling department with a $50 billion budget and roughly 8,000 employees.
