This is huge!

Right-wing candidate Abelardo De la Espriella has just won Colombia’s presidential election, defeating Marxist socialist Ivan Cepeda.

Similarly to President Bukele in El Salvador, he ran on a campaign of cracking down on crime and the cartels.

He promised to “disembowel” the Left in Columbia and work with President Trump, unlike the South American country’s current leadership.

Earlier this month, President Trump gave De la Espriella his full endorsement.

After De la Espriella’s win, President Trump congratulated him in a post on Truth Social.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally spoke with Abelardo De la Espriella to congratulate him.

Here’s what he had to say in a post on X:

Just spoke to Colombian President-Elect @ABDELAESPRIELLA to congratulate him on his electoral victory.

The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.

Colombia’s best days are ahead.

Columbians are now taking to the streets to celebrate de la Espriella’s victory.

Some Columbians have even been seen wearing red “Make Columbia Great Again” hats:

The New York Times reported further on De la Espriella’s win and the celebrations happening in Columbia:

Abelardo De La Espriella, a criminal defense lawyer with no previous political experience, appeared headed for a razor-thin victory on Sunday in Colombia’s presidential election, in what would be a win for his fervent supporters, the global right and President Trump, who had endorsed him.

Mr. De La Espriella — who transformed himself from sharply dressed Miami lawyer to populist in a soccer jersey and a straw hat — won 49.7 percent of the vote with more than 99 percent of the votes counted, according to preliminary official results. Iván Cepeda, a leftist senator and a longtime human rights advocate received 48.7 percent.

His victory would return Colombia to conservative rule after four years under Gustavo Petro, the country’s first leftist president. It would also advance Latin America’s broader shift to the right in Mr. Trump’s second term.

As word of the results spread, Bogotá, the capital, exploded with the din of shouts, car horns and vuvuzelas. People rushed into the streets, whether to celebrate or to march in opposition. President Petro said online that there would be “no president” until the votes had been scrutinized, which is the usual process — but cries of “Out with Petro” filled the air.

In Barranquilla, on Colombia’s Caribbean Coast, fireworks erupted and supporters of Mr. De La Espriella waved flares as they waited for him to appear. Speaking to a news outlet, Mr. De La Espriella said, “We defeated the regime.”

Mr. Cepeda told supporters in Bogotá that he would await the full vote review but accepted the preliminary results. Remarking on the millions who voted for his leftist government, Mr. Cepeda said, “We stand before the Colombian people to tell you that we are an undeniable force in Colombia.”

This is a massive win…

However, the battle isn’t quite over, yet.

Current Columbian President Petro is already trying to overturn the victory, as the socialist party strives to retain its power.

ABC News noted:

Colombia’s current president, Gustavo Petro, cast doubt on the election results on social media, citing alleged “irregularities” at polling stations.

Elizabeth Dickinson, Bogotá-based deputy director for Latin America at the International Crisis Group, said that half of Colombians voted for a “hard-handed security crackdown,” while she said the other half voted for social and economic reforms.

“Colombians voted for two extremes, and whoever governs is going to have to find a midpoint that unites the country,” Dickinson told ABC News.

If confirmed, De la Espriella would become one of the most outspoken conservative leaders in Latin America and is expected to strengthen ties with the Trump administration.

As long as tonight’s election results in Columbia are certified, this will be a wonderful thing for both their country and ours.

It’s also the latest sign that South America is finally shifting away from socialism, at large.

Benny Johnson provided additional insight on the situation in this clip:
