Mexico's Former Voice Abroad Runs for Presidency

Mexico's Foreign Affairs Minister, Marcelo Ebrard, is competing for the leftist ruling party nomination for next year's presidential elections. Ebrard is in a three-way race with other members of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's inner circle. Ebrard has responded with humorous TikTok videos aimed at connecting with voters. He describes himself as a nationalist and a progressive who promises to maintain López Obrador's signature social programs. Ebrard's achievements as the top diplomat for a president who prioritized all things domestic will be present in voters' minds.
