A woman will lead the country for the first time in history. President López Obrador’s successor has won a second term for the National Regeneration Movement and stifled the conservative coalition’s aspirations

Mexico has a new president. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, 61, is the firstwoman to win a presidential election in the 200 years since the country’s independence.

It was a historic election day in many ways. With a turnout close to 61%, the successor of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador achieved between 58.6% and 60.7% of the vote, according to the quick count, a mathematical extrapolation based on voting records collected throughout the country that usually yields accurate results. The percentage obtained by Sheinbaum exceeds the 53% achieved by Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2018, quite an achievement for a candidate with less political charisma.

Many questioned whether a sexist country like Mexico was ready to have a female president. The results at the ballot box proved that it is.

      Amazingly, no. I had to follow a few links before I found out because apparently the fact that she’s a woman trumps all the other news, but she is, in fact, not a fascist.

            The best part is that since wokeism has clearly took over Mexico, the cartel can’t kill her because they would be cancelled for being sexist!

          She is straight up left wing. The opposing candidate was pushed forward by a coalition of what are essentially the Democrats and Republicans 😂🔥 it’s incredible

      Nominally pretty far from it. She’s part of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s (the current president of Mexico) Morena party.

      Depends. Does she align with your current ideology flavor?

        You know fascism has a definition, right? It doesn’t mean “I don’t like it”.

            Here’s a shock to you… All of them are in some direct or indirect way
