She is set to be Mexico's first female president. But who is Claudia Sheinbaum?

Claudia Sheinbaum, a former government official and candidate for the ruling Morena party, is projected to become Mexico’s first female president. If confirmed, she will start her presidency on October 1. Sheinbaum, a former climate scientist, gained popularity due to her alliance with outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. She has a strong background in academia and has received accolades for her work. As the head of government of Mexico City, she focused on renewable energy and climate change. Mexico’s high levels of violence and security issues will be a priority for Sheinbaum. The election in Mexico coincides with the American elections, with immigration being a crucial issue for both countries. The relationship between the U.S. and Mexico is expected to continue to be friendly and professional under the Biden administration.
