first woman president in Mexico

News report from the AP wire. they have a woman president now!! well who is she? here is a nutshell bio of her and where she stands. I am excited they voted a woman president in Mexico, and we in the US should aim for this goal too.
MEXICO CITY (AP) Claudia Sheinbaum, who will be Mexico's first woman leader in the nation's more than 200 years of independence, captured the presidency by promising continuity.

The 61-year-old former Mexico City mayor and lifelong leftist ran a disciplined campaign capitalizing on her predecessor's popularity before emerging victorious in Sunday's vote, according to an official quick count. But with her victory now in hand, Mexicans will look to see how Sheinbaum, a very different personality from mentor and current President Andrs Manuel Lopez Obrador, will assert herself.

While she hewed close to Lopez Obrador politically and shares many of his ideas about the government's role in addressing inequality, she is viewed as less combative and more data driven.
Sheinbaum's background is in science. She has a Ph.D. in energy engineering. Her brother is a physicist. In a 2023 interview with The Associated Press, Sheinbaum said, "I believe in science."

Observers say that grounding showed itself in Sheinbaum's actions as mayor during the COVID-19 pandemic, when her city of some 9 million people took a different approach from what Lopez Obrador espoused at the national level.

While the federal government was downplaying the importance of coronavirus testing, Mexico City expanded its testing regimen. Sheinbaum set limits on businesses' hours and capacity when the virus was rapidly spreading, even though Lopez Obrador wanted to avoid any measures that would hurt the economy. And she publicly wore protective masks and urged social distancing while the president was still lunging into crowds.
Mexico's persistently high levels of violence will be one of her most immediate challenges after she takes office Oct. 1. On the campaign trail she said little more than that she would expand the quasi-military National Guard created by Lopez Obrador and continue his strategy of targeting social ills that make so many young Mexicans easy targets for cartel recruitment.

"Let it be clear, it doesn't mean an iron fist, wars or authoritarianism," Sheinbaum said of her approach to tackling criminal gangs, during her final campaign event. "We will promote a strategy of addressing the causes and continue moving toward zero impunity."

Sheinbaum has praised Lopez Obrador profusely and said little that the president hasn?t said himself. She blamed neoliberal economic policies for condemning millions to poverty, promised a strong welfare state and praised Mexico?s large state-owned oil company, Pemex, while also promising to emphasize clean energy.

"For me, being from the left has to do with that, with guaranteeing the minimum rights to all residents," Sheinbaum told the AP last year.

Not trying to rain on your
parade but something like
70 something presidential
candidates were assassinated
while running for office but
somehow she was spared...

It seems very curious.
Like she was installed by the
drug cartels to be a
puppet president.

And because she's a woman
and a jew, you can't criticize
her policies or issues because
that would be antisemitism
or misogyny.

Per Grock...
0.03% of Mexico is Jewish
So she doesn't represent the people
through her religion.
If she were catholic, it would be a
very different story.

I'm just saying based on the
statistics of the election.
It appears she was put into that
position by powerful forces
(the elite controlling Mexico)
and not the electorate.
