Mexico's First Female President Elected in a Divisive Race
Early results suggest Claudia Schainbaum, a former mayor of Mexico City from the ruling party, has won around 60% of the vote in a polarizing election. Mexico remains divided on the legacy of outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador's promises to tackle corruption, inequality, and insecurity.
