Hondurans voted in an election on Sunday to choose a successor to President Xiomara Castro. The election features a tight race between three main candidates: Nasry "Tito" Asfura, Rixi Moncada, and Salvador Nasralla. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut aid to Honduras if his preferred candidate, Asfura, loses. Trump also announced he would pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is imprisoned in the U.S. on drug trafficking charges. The election's outcome is significant for Honduras, as continued U.S. support is contingent on Asfura's victory, according to Trump. The results are expected to be announced later on Sunday.
