Where people are still waiting on election results…

Turkey. Yesterday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan failed to secure a majority of votes to keep his seat. Erdoğan — who's served as Turkey's president for two decades — is facing a fierce re-election battle against the center-left Republican People’s Party's Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Erdoğan campaigned on his long-ruling and bulking of the country's defense industry, and Kılıçdaroğlu on rolling back policies made by Erdoğan. The election comes as the country is grappling with an economic crisis and the aftermath of recent earthquakes that tore through the country and neighboring Syria, killing more than 50,000 people and displacing more than 5.9 million. Now, after millions of voters made their voices heard at the polls, both candidates fell short of the 50% vote they needed to secure the country's top spot. The race is headed toward a runoff, which could mean another election in about two weeks. Erdoğan seems confident all will go well, while his opponent is already eyeing the second election.

Where abortions could be restricted…

North Carolina. Over the weekend, Gov. Roy Cooper (D) vetoed a bill that would have banned most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The bill includes exceptions for rape and incest or if the mother's life is at risk. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, North Carolina became a haven for women living in other Southern states where abortion is banned. Now, Republicans are expected to override the veto. Republicans hold a supermajority and only need three-fifths of the votes in both chambers to override the governor's veto. North Carolina’s Senate Republican leader said they will continue to push for the bill and looks “forward to promptly overriding his veto.” Meanwhile, the governor hopes to sway at least one Republican to oppose an override.
