Sheinbaum's ruling Morena party is also on track to hold majorities in both chambers of Congress, a possible two-thirds supermajority where reform measures can be passed with no opposition. Thus President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's left-wing party will continue its mandate, and Sheinbaum is his handpicked successor.
The 61-year-old is former mayor of Mexico City and a climate scientist by training. Her chief opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez, also a woman, has called Sheinbaum to concede in addition to Jorge Álvarez Máynez of the small Citizen's Movement party.
The National Electoral Institute announced that she won around 58-60 percent of votes, according to AFP, which is over 30 percentage points ahead of main opposition rival Galvez. One international outlet has observed of the big numbers she put up:
But this is absolutely a landslide victory, much larger than anyone had expected in fact. And it could be in fact the largest percentage of votes that any candidate has had in recent history in Mexico, including Lopez Obrador himself, an extremely popular president."I will become the first woman president of Mexico," Sheinbaum declared from Mexico city, after landslide election projections were released.
But it appears Claudia Sheinbaum has even beaten him.
"I don't make it alone. We've all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters. We have demonstrated that Mexico is a democratic country with peaceful elections."Her six-year term begins on Oct.1. She has vowed continuity with her predecessor López Obrador:
"We have made possible the continuity and progress of the fourth transformation. I commit to you that I will not let you down. There is history, there is homeland, there is people, and there is commitment."Below is a list of national issues she's up against going into office, compiled by The Associated Press:
- ONGOING VIOLENCE: López Obrador claims to have reduced historically high homicide levels by 20% since he took office in December 2018. But that's largely a claim based on a questionable reading of statistics. The real homicide rate appears to have declined by only about 4 or 5% in six years by some measures.
- MORE COMPLEX CONFLICT: Under López Obrador cartels have expanded control in much of the country and raked in money — not just from drugs but from extorting legal industries and migrant smuggling. They've also fought with more sophisticated tools like bomb-dropping drones and improvised explosive devices.
- "AMLO'S" SHADOW: While Mexico's next president will likely make history as being the country's first woman leader, they will likely struggle to step out of the shadow of López Obrador's larger-than-life image.
- THE ECONOMY: López Obrador brags about Mexico's strong exchange rate against the U.S. dollar; but the strong peso hurts Mexican exporters, and high domestic interest rates - which underpin the currency - tend to choke off economic growth.
- PEMEX: Mexico's state-owned oil company continues to totter under a mountain of debt, while López Obrador's pet project - a new oil refinery - has yet to function, and many of his other infrastructure projects are unfinished, over budget and unlikely to ever turn a profit.
- DEBT: López Obrador also leaves his successor with a staggering budget deficit equivalent to 5.9% of GDP, as well as ongoing costs to fund his building and benefit programs, which will limit their room for manuever.
- WATER AND ENERGY SHORTAGE: López Obrador's favorite state-owned company, the Federal Electricity Commission, has proved both highly polluting and unreliable, especially in the face of drought and an extended heatwave. The whole country faces looming water and energy shortages.
- THE ENVIRONMENT: Mexico has suffered from long-running drought, wildfires and soaring temperatures causing monkeys to drop dead from trees. Construction of López Obrador's Maya Train has also fueled environmental concerns.
The Peso is tumbling Monday morning...
...with Bloomberg reporting:
Signs that Claudia Sheinbaum will take office with a strong majority in Congress sent Mexican assets lower, as traders fear the incoming leader may have the legislative support to pass anti-market reforms.Sheinbaum told a crowd on Sunday:
The Mexican peso led losses among more than 140 currencies tracked by Bloomberg, sinking 2.9% versus the greenback as of 9:40 a.m. in New York. Dollar bonds fell the most in emerging markets and 10-year interest-rate swaps jumped 15 basis points.

Seriously - eff the zigaboos - let them get their own medicine.
It is written in the book - tis written in human endeavors - tis know and tis proven - Heavy rains on the way of missiles upon Israel - you have one minute to flee you zigaboos - may your god come to your aid - but if your god tis false - then tis evident - no aid will be forthcoming.
Simple as 1+1=2.....or does it?

Well let the gods work it out amongst themselves I reckon - them and the goddesses both but Moreover and lastly - sometimes it feels GOOD to let the rain of a storm come down upon thee - and then if you get what you were seeking, the rain feels cleansing!
and how many people think this election, in Mexico mind you, wasn't easily rigged ... Just like the United Snakes of Israel - I musta asked 20 people who they voted for and everyone said Trumpet - me? the day I vote is the day I've been replaced by a fembot..
The self-chosen tribe from hell can have this world ... they can then parasitize each other...nobody will do any real work mind you .... nobody to steal from.
"Preliminary results indicated that Sheinbaum received the highest number of votes ever recorded for a candidate in Mexican history, carried 31 out of 32 states, and achieved the highest vote percentage since 1982."
As Crenshaw noted, sounds like a Biden type of
victorycoupThanks for the update!!

One wonders if her efforts will be negated, by those that have a different future and vision for Mexico.
A pertinent reminder, being Jewish is not Zionism, being Jewish does does not equate to Zionism. Two opposing belief systems.

What a shame and seriously - why repeat yourself - I mean do you think we can't read it the first time?
These zigaboos got a hard lesson coming is my view - and I pray for Mejico to find its roots.
God Bless Mejico - may it remain true to its roots and not be contaminated by zigaboo ideology.
Do you see a pattern here? With rare exception,100% STS.
Just let that mindset & attitude settle in to your consciousness.
She is a figurehead - how it is she represents the country of peasants mostly catholic is sort of a conflict of interest ain't it?
Whatever - let all of North America split up into smaller parts - not balkanized but localized - for the better of the local folks - and then who give a flip who is in central authority - and then let the zigaboos be exposed in the sunlight and wither away on the vine.....what makes the Jews think they run the world? How did this lady get elected I wonder....is she what the peasants in Mejico desire - or was she just placed there by nefarious forces? Tis fair to wonder being what the zigaboos do is evident for those paying attention.
Mejico deserves better I think - and whatever - fuck Mossad - eff em.
Problem is, I don't trust her to work for the best interest of all of Mexico. I think she is another Javier Milei who will work for the rich 'Spanish-Mexicans' and not the majority indigenous people of the country.
Peace and fairness also play a big role in that association. IMO those would be the most attractive propositions. No more threats, blackmail, intimidation, ''suicides'' and what else...I really like the fact that this new Mexican princess is " a climate scientist by training " LOL!! Mexico is so screwed.
Just part of the Spanish death culture, I think not. Wishing the best for 🇲🇽
Same feminist juu bullshit: make women out to be some 'superhuman' race, exclude men from the dialogue, and fascism will take root faster than himalayan knotweed. We'll just wait and see all the same atrocities and destruction, but this time with pink-scarlet-purple flags trimming the place.
Once again, we will see. Let actions show the way and let the chips fall where they will.
Not mocking as we in Chile are living with a socialist commie NWO millennial nespotic corrupt approving woke scoundrel.
The joke is on the Mexican people as it is with Boric (who I did not vote for) on the Chilean people.
Same shit, different country, enjoy who you voted for.

How do we know she was installed? Quote: "Globally, various left-wing movements are excited about her credentials as a climate scientist."
What can we expect from the Green agenda? Eat bugs, no beef, no chicken, no cars, no petroleum based heat, no petroleum/coal based electric power, and the additional "trans" is good, and keep the borders open for the cartels to run things (the cartels are green by eliminating people through fentanyl and murder).
We will see what stance she takes toward the Russia/Ukraine/Nato conflict and the Gaza genocide. This will reveal her backers.
fixxed it 4 You.
With all the hustings murders, have Mexican's got the leader they wanted? The chances are against it.
' I don't make it alone. We've all made it , with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters'. Is Claudia referring to Mexico or her real homeland, which didn't exist before 1917.
