  2. Most Mexicans began to seriously entertain the idea that #Claudia #Sheinbaum could be Mexico’s first female president in December 2022, when her trademark slicked-back ponytail began to appear on billboards across the country.
    Paid for by legislators in Sheinbaum’s party, Morena, the signage was intended to make the former climate scientist and then-Mexico City mayor known nationwide.
    At the time, many observers arguedthat Sheinbaum, now 61, lacked the charisma to replace her political patron, the wildly popular President Andrés Manuel #López #Obrador;
    her apparent restraint contrasted with his gabby personality.
    López Obrador was elected in 2018 and describes his government as carrying out the “Fourth Transformation,”
    a period of progressive renewal on par with just a few other periods of significant change in Mexican history.
    The Fourth Transformation seeks the “eradication of neoliberalism” in Mexico.
    López Obrador considers privatization and corruption to be outgrowths of deregulation in the 1980s and has called neoliberalism the “main cause of economic and social inequality [in Mexico].”
    The president cannot run for reelection, and Sheinbaum has become his unlikely heir apparent.
    Ahead of Mexico’s elections on June 2, Morena has labeled Sheinbaum the “defense coordinator of the Fourth Transformation.” She says that she will build its “second floor.”
    Sheinbaum is now leading presidential polls with an overwhelming 57 percent of projected ballots.
    Although much attention has been paid to her gender in a country known for its machismo, Sheinbaum’s rise is singular for other reasons,
    including her professional background and data-driven approach to politics.
    Sheinbaum should expect equally unprecedented governing challenges: She will face enormous expectations while Mexican society is becoming more fragmented than ever

  3. With Mexico’s presidential election less than two months away, one thing is clear: The candidate for the governing party appears to be running away with it.

    #Claudia #Sheinbaum, a physicist and protégée of the current president, holds a commanding lead of about 30 percentage points in the polls over the opposition’s #Xóchitl #Gálvez, a tech entrepreneur, as campaigning officially starts.

    Playing it safe at a time when the departing president, Andrés Manuel #López #Obrador, remains broadly popular,
    Ms. Sheinbaum has kept so closely to his policies and persona that she not only vows to adopt his priorities,
    she also sometimes imitates his slow-paced way of talking in appearances across the country.

    But while Ms. Sheinbaum’s exceptionally disciplined campaign has cemented her front-runner status, the candidate who could be Mexico’s first female president remains something of an enigma to many Mexicans.

    “Claudia Sheinbaum is still the great mystery of this election,” said Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez, a political scientist at Mexico’s Monterrey Institute of Technology.
    “We know she’s a scientist with a different way of thinking. Sooner or later she’ll have to remove her mask showing her as the mimic of López Obrador.”

    For now, the race highlights how Mr. López Obrador, a combative politician blending leftist and nationalist rhetoric with policies that are socially, environmentally and fiscally conservative,
    has so dominated Mexican politics since taking office in 2018 that a splintered opposition is struggling to find its footing against his would-be successor.
