Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has been elected as Mexico's first female president, marking a historic moment for the country. The general election, which saw more than 98 million eligible voters and over 70,000 candidates vying for public offices, is considered the largest in Mexico's history. Sheinbaum, a member of the Morena party and backed by the governing coalition Sigamos Haciendo Historia, emerged as one of the two front-runners. The election is significant not only for Mexico but also for its impact on the relationship with the United States. The US, with a growing Latino population, is looking for a Mexico with good public policy, signaling a shift in priorities between the two countries. The economy, migration, and security are key issues that will be influenced by the election results. Mexico recently became the top trading partner of the United States, surpassing China and Canada, due to factors like near-shoring and increased investment. Migration policies, fentanyl trafficking, and cartel-related violence are also critical considerations in the bilateral relationship. The election outcome will have implications for US-Mexico ties and the future direction of both nations.
