Rishi Sunak (center) meets with members of the Conservative Party in the Houses of Parliament after it was announced he will become the next prime minister on October 24. The 42-year-old former finance minister will be the U.K.'s first person of color and the first Hindu to hold the top job. Sunak, along with his wife Akshata Murthy, is also among the wealthiest people in the country, worth about $828 million, according to The Sunday Times. He replaces Liz Truss, who served just 44 days-the shortest stint of any of the U.K's previous leaders and must now deal with the fallout of her divisive tax-cutting policies as well as high inflation.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 55 YEARS, THIS ELECTION SEASON could end with Democrats and Republicans heading an equal number of state governments.

That even split has only happened one other time since Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959-back in 1967, in the thick of another painfully divisive era in American politics.
