Mexico Poised to Elect First Female President, Paving Way for U.S. Relations Reset
TL;DR Summary
Mexico's historic elections on Sunday are set to likely elect the country's first female president, with Claudia Sheinbaum and Xóchitl Gálvez leading the race. The election, the largest in Mexico's history, is marked by cartel violence and the political legacy of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Over 20,000 positions are up for grabs, and the campaign has seen significant bloodshed, with criminal groups vying for power. The election also highlights issues of gender-based violence and gender disparities in a country with a strong "macho" culture.
