On June 2, over 60 million Mexican voters elected a president, deputies of the Mexican Congress, governors of nine states, state legislators, and thousands of municipal officials. The incumbent Morena party and Claudia Sheinbaum, a close supporter of the outgoing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, wiped the floor with their opponents. As Mexico’s first female president—elected with the highest vote percentage of any president since Mexico’s 2001 transition to democracy—Sheinbaum will hold great power to shape Mexico’s future, including a significant ability to pass constitutional reforms. But Morena and Sheinbaum’s resounding success belies the elections’ complex dynamics and the deep security and rule of law dangers that Mexico faces.
