Mexico City Mayor Steps Down to Run for President.

Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum has resigned to seek the ruling party's presidential nomination, aiming to become the country's first female leader in the election scheduled for next year. Sheinbaum is one of the favorites for the nomination, with most opinion polls giving her a slight advantage over her rival Marcelo Ebrard. Morena is heavily favored to win the 2024 presidential election, and Sheinbaum has pledged to continue President López Obrador's "transformation" of Mexico.
