VIVA! VIVA! VIVA!....MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT: President Claudia Sheinbaum Inaugurated in Mexico City, October 1 2024

A sweeping victory

Mexico's first female president in more than 200 years of independence. 

Sheinbaum was elected with nearly 60% of the popular vote, dwarfing her two rival candidates.
Sheinbaum promises to continue her predecessor’s so-called “Fourth Transformation,” a social and political restructuring of Mexico that seeks to economically empower the country’s poor and marginalized, accompanied by a substantial weakening of democracy.
In a first in Mexico’s history, both of the leading presidential candidates were women—Sheinbaum for Morena, Xóchitl Gálvez for the opposition—a vindication of Mexico’s parity laws that over the past 20 years have brought far more women into politics

Sheinbaum's stances on security and migration
While immigration is a non-issue for voters in Mexico, it’s a top concern for voters in the United States. Consecutive Republican and Democratic administrations have pressured Mexico to ramp up enforcement and stop migrants from reaching the U.S.’ southern border. Political analysts say it’s likely Sheinbaum will, like López Obrador, work with the U.S. to deter migration, in large part because it has become a powerful cudgel to negotiate on other pressing issues, such as trade agreements.
