And, as Reuters technology editor Ken Lee explains, Wang's departure will have an impact far beyond the industry. It's sort of like if Elvis left the. building and he was running a $4 trillion company. That's kind of what could be happening here. His significance to not just the company, but also to the global economy, you know, being the provider of chips that have underpinned this whole AI revolution is hard to underestimate. He's been known as a very hands-on manager.

Democrat Scott Colombe has officially won the senator race in Mississippi, defeating Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. That's according to U.S. media projections.

Even though newly elected lawmakers don't get sworn in till January, the midterms result is already having an impact at the U.S. border. We're going to the U.S. border! border! Nearly 2,000 migrants are heading north from Tapachula, Mexico, with many saying the election result have made getting into the U.S. seem more possible. One of them is Elena Lameda from Venezuela, who says she now has a glimmer of hope. And while Democrats didn't run on opening the border, what could change is how Trump's immigration crackdown is carried out, with promises of greater oversight of ICE and immigration reform. Here's immigration reporter Julia Hart. Democrats are very fired up about reining in some of the more extreme tactics that ICE agents have used. There's also, you know, the spending. ICE has been given an unprecedented amount of money through reconciliation bills in the last couple of years. So the funding it has gives it kind of a blank slate. And it's going to be very difficult for them to actually take back any of the money because that would require legislation that the president could veto. But the third area where Democrats, I think, are excited to try and make some progress is, you know, opening new legal pathways for immigrants to claim permanent residence in the U.S. or even pathways to citizenship for those that are here without legal status. We are ready to go. We are ready to go. Senator Ruben Gallego says the Latino voting bloc has given Democrats an opening to win back trust. And some of that has to start with us pushing hard on immigration reform. That includes potentially cutting a deal with Donald Trump. But Julia says getting a deal won't be easy. Any compromise would still need White House support. And she did point to one person in particular, the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller. He's very ideologically driven by this issue. And with the president primarily listening to him, as it seems he will be doing, the odds of, you know, a compromise being struck the way that it might have been with previous chief of staff, Susie Wiles, or other administration officials does seem more remote.
