just elected its first female president in a 200-year history. that s according to projections. the women she says helped get her there. plus, pride policy, president biden s campaign is zeroing in on lgbtq plus voters this pride month. the strategy to tackle growing concerns over waning support. and could less be more when it comes to treating cancer? the new research on scaling back treatments to help patients feel better as they re getting better. our nbc news reporter are following all of the latest developments, and we begin with nbc s ken dilanian who s outside the courthouse in wilmington, delaware, and, ken, i know we re in a lunch break just a few minutes ago, where do things stand right now in picking a jury? reporter: greetings, chris. they have actually moved through this jury selection process rather quickly. they ve got 34 qualified jurors of 36 that they want to get to in order to go to the second round where they really get down to brass tax and start wi
chris. aaron gilchrist, thank you. let s go to mexico now where the future is female. after claudia sheinbaum won the presidential election. nbc s guad venegas is following this story from mexico city. what more can you tell us about the president elect and what the reaction is there? reporter: chris, well, she was the favorite coming into election day. mexico has gone through a lot of change over the last few decades. if you look at the legislature, half of congress are women in mexico. both leading candidates were women. today we can say that claudia sheinbaum is the president-elect. she took about 58% of the vote. we can expect the president, who is an ally to the current president, to continue with a lot of the same policies that focus on helping the under served communities, low income
majority over this? i think they are, chris. i m struck at how bad republicans at this right now. look, this is telling in a couple of ways. first, it is a hint of donald trump s declaration that i am your retribution, and this is probably retribution light. i mean, he s thinking much more grave ramifications. this is an example of a leading senate candidate on their team, a republican, probably the only republican in maryland that has a shot at winning statewide, but because he stepped out of line with perfect fealty to donald trump, he got swatted down and abandoned, and this is why they re so bad at it. first of all, in maryland alone, this is a seat that if republicans could win, it really means they have won the senate back. they control the senate, and yet lara trump and the republicans are willing to let this one go just out of vanities for donald trump. but the second reason they re so bad at this is the following,
hostages, as well as a period of reconstruction of gaza. look, all the details can still get in the way, but do you see a way forward that somehow trust can be built from where we are now to get to those final stages or for that matter, step one? i think it is possible, but at this moment, as i assess the forces that push both in favor of the cease fire, and against a cease fire, i think it s, chris, about a one in three chance at best. not zero, but it s not even 50/50 quite yet. the reason is on the hamas side of the equation, they continue to resolutely demand that essentially israel pull out of gaza and leave them in control. that s a red line for essentially the entire israeli population. certainly the netanyahu
even a discussion from a permanent cease fire. it sounds as though it s going to be very very difficult to bridge the gap in negotiations between hamas on one side, who wants to see a complete end to israel s incursion into the gaza strip, and the israelis. stated goal is to destroy hamas before the israelis end their military operations. these two positions are just as far apart as they have been since october 7th. so there isn t much hope around these latest rounds of negotiations. chris. we are going to dig deeper into the negotiations coming up later in this program. matt bradley, thank you. and coming up, former u.s. intelligence officers raising major red flags over what could happen if trump retakes the white house. their warning shared with nbc news next. you re watching chris jansing reports only on msnbc. ching cg reports only on msnbc nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all
