Mexico’s newly elected president faces a long list of challenges, including persistent cartel violence, a deeply divided country, cash-straitened social programs and the long shadow of her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Ruling party presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum greets supporters after the National Electoral Institute announced she held an irreversible lead in the election in Mexico City, early Monday, June 3, 2024.
“There needs to be fiscal reform,” said Isidro Morales, an economics and international relations expert. Otherwise, he warns, citing Mexico’s decreasing oil income as one problem, “Claudia is going to have her hands tied.” “Mexico’s most important election is taking place on Nov. 5,” said Carlos A. Pérez Ricart, a professor at Mexican public research center CIDE, referring to the U.S. presidential election.
And when it comes to immigration and security, Mexico's new president is left only with the existing policies, which have only intermittently slowed migration to the U.S. border and failed to significantly lower Mexico's persistent violence.
