The Read
Claudia Sheinbaum (born 1962) is President of Mexico, affiliated with Morena. In Mexico the presidency owns the executive and shares head-of-state duties on top of it. On government direction, security, and foreign policy, the president is usually the loudest voice in the room.
Claudia Sheinbaum sets the agenda in Mexico — economy, security, government formation, foreign posture — and forces everyone else to react.
The walls on Mexico's presidency: courts, the legislature, the states if it's federal, intraparty fights, and public opinion. The agenda runs into all of them on the way through.
3 tracked elections on the record. Each one resets bargaining power, legitimacy, and how much of an agenda Claudia Sheinbaum can actually push.
