New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern reacts as she talks with colleagues at a cafe in Auckland, New Zealand, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020. Ardern has won a second term in office in an election landslide of historic proportions.
Speaking at a cafe near her Auckland home, Ardern said she expects to form a new government within three weeks and to prioritize work on the virus response.Her comments came as health officials reported one new case of community transmission after New Zealand went three weeks without any new infection. Officials said the man works on foreign ships at the ports, and they believe they caught his case early enough to contain the threat of further spread.
Asked what she would say to those Americans who may draw inspiration from her win ahead of the U.S. elections, Ardern said she hoped people globally could move past the partisan divisions that elections often accentuate.Ardern’s popularity soared earlier this year after she led a successful effort to halt the spread of the virus by implementing a strict lockdown in late March. New Zealand has had fewer than 2,000 cases of the virus including 25 deaths.
NZParliament : congratulations on a successful and smooth election! Hopefully, nzlabour will really look at and advocate HumanRights in the world. Cause just beyond its backyard in the Greater Asia region, China is blatantly violating these rights in Xinjiang & HongKong
Tfw you're a tyrant with no meaningful opposition
The results may also be in support for her public display Civility.
Fair guess on her part.
realdonaldtrump See what a efficient, that follows science leader can accomplish. If only you were as smart as she is....
It helps that she's a very good, kind, and decent person. She should know the world sees her as a friend.
JessicaHuseman Same in the USA, but the opposite outcome.
Does she have a twin who she can lend to the US?
What humility. Its more than just fighting a virus, its great leadership and common decency a rare combination in political leaders in this day and age.
Is NZ taking US refugees?
Can we just make her the President here so we can have a competent leader
Adam Schiff is at it again! He’s not trying to get to the truth of the Hunter Biden laptop, he’s trying to cover it up! That Hunter Biden has not denied the laptop or the information on it means he’s GUILTY! The Biden family has made millions from favors to China and Russia!
What happens when travel is allowed again? After MANY years of flu deaths, we still don’t have an effective vaccine for flu & colds. People are awfully optimistic on a COVID vaccine. Just being realistic here.
I don't suppose Trump will call her and congratulate her like he does when Putin wins his (fair) election. Probably not, one, she's a woman, two, she's not a dictator, three, she's done what he can't, protect her country by leading.
Pretty easy to control a virus when you are on a tiny island with one airport. Somebody please tell Jacinda to get over herself.
Colonizers.
Of course it could just be that the think the other lot would fuck it up even worse. Personally if I were her political rivals I'd be happy letting her take the blame for economic devastation that's going to inevitably ensue from these pandemic measures.
And rightly so which is why Nov 4th should be the day President Dump confirms that he is doing a terribly job.
For me it was the earthquake!! 😄 Congratulations on your win. jacindaardern
CCP is excited to have another Democracy fall. Get out the Red Books
Because she’s has one of the most successful responses! jacindaardern did what she had to do and kept her people safe!
As PM Ardern celebrates her reelection Rugby match, New Zealand vs Australia in New Zealand Eden Park, 46,000 fans gather without masks or social distancing. This super spreader event will probably backfire and start an outbreak of Covid19 that will infect and kill thousands...
This strong, popular and effective woman is the anti-Trump
SameralAtrush NZ got fucked itself.More corona bullshit and shrinking economy awaits.Good for them!
When you have competent, adult leadership.... unlike America
Medias darling, will falter too sooner or later, something will give way
Congratulations! I wish my country, the US would do the same. But nothing will change until trump is voted out!
What does LeBron think though?
She can’t prove she helped.
TranslatorBot2k We love our leader Jacinda she will continue to keep all New Zealanders safe. Thank god we dont have a lunatic like Trump.
The way she has responded and governed through 2 of New Zealand’s worst situations in modern history (mass shooting and covid) has earned her the respect and trust of her constituents. Bravo, well deserved. I hope we can have one of her someday. Bravo to New Zealanders.
Population density is on her favor, and this isn’t about her skills or ability per se. I’m not saying she’s not good, but I am stating a FACT. NZ is geographical blessed with low density. The population of 15 people per square kilometers is considered as low density.
👏👏👏🎉💖
Jacinda you're the best. Which day it is convenient for you to come Spain?
She could teach trump a thing or two
Astonishing! Leaders who actually protect their citizens by LEADING get reelected! Our Mr. Trump had four years to figure this out... but never did. So sad for him that he was stupid.
Glad no nutsos there trying to kidnap her.
That’s the way it should be FlattenTheCurve and reboot the economy
See realDonaldTrump you 🤬’d up. This be you if you weren’t a total stunod.
Voted by sheep
God Help The Kiwis. This Blairite Acolyte will destroy New Zealand
Wah she is like as a God In India
If they can keep it at bay til a vaccine comes along, they will have used their isolated geography to great effect. Wonderful place to visit too 👍🏼
I will say tho, she didn’t win the popular vote but got the majority of seats.
What a bunch of brainwashed moronic replies. By stamping out the virus, she‘s stomped on her own people with throwing young moms, dads and elderly people in jail for standing outside their home. She’s also responsible for caused historic deaths from suicide
Why can’t American elect a woman President 🤦🏽♂️
Congrats, jacindaardern! Good news for all of us, not just New Zealand.
Strong and powerful leadership. Their manifesto is a thing of beauty and should lead to a thriving New Zealand. Definitely a country to consder moving to should our mess get much worse...
You mean she didn't put on a bunch of delusional happy talk about it 'going away like a miracle' in order to prop up the stock market, but faced it head on honestly like an adult? And that actually worked to save lives, and it got her reelected? Imagine that.
realDonaldTrump GOP SenateGOP PressSec LindseyGrahamSC CNN An intelligent leader protects her people from Covid-19. A cruel leader holds rallies with thousands of Americans causing Covid-19 infections, illness, suffering & death. Vote for JoeBiden to save your life.
She rocks.

Periodt... A Leader that follows advice of Science. This is how you're reward. Time for Biden
CONGRATULATIONS!
Opposite of trump
God I wish we had a leader like her here in the US...
I wasn't just that The empathy she had after the mass shooting showed how a leader should act.

NewZealanders the world envies you - congratulations jacindaardern well deserved win
It’s an island in the middle of nothing. 🙄
Truth with evidence is good.
The 'being good at your job strategy.' Bold. Risky.
Great! Trump will see his win as the same 👍🏻
So Happy for New Zealand‼️ Wish I was there.✌🏼
Her teeth scare me.... I’m sorry.... But they do.....
Stamp out COVID19 ? It’s not going away. Like a flu or cold virus it’s probably going to be around for awhile.
While the rest of the world fumbled, New Zealand took this virus seriously and their people are better for it. Congratulations to her on a well deserved win.
Happy she won 🌞
EffectiveLeadership

Or as her governments brilliance if importing lots of voters for her. 🥴🥴
newzealandelection

Only 16 days to go! Don’t relax. Give time or money or both! Sprint through the tape. REGISTER AND VOTE BLUE!
It's a remote archipelago with fewer people than Wisconsin and like one international airport, how tough can it be to 'stamp out the coronavirus'?
Because she's awesome!
Wow imagine that....
India really needs a leader like her. Congratulations! jacindaardern
