"Mexico Poised for Historic Election, US Watches Closely"
Mexico's upcoming presidential election, featuring frontrunners Claudia Sheinbaum and Xóchitl Gálvez, is poised to deliver the country's first female president. The election is closely watched by the US due to critical issues like drug cartels and migration. Both candidates emphasize maintaining strong bilateral relations with the US while asserting Mexico's independence in foreign policy. The potential return of Donald Trump to the US presidency adds complexity to the future of US-Mexico relations.
