Complicating her administration’s debut, Sheinbaum will also have to contend with the shadow of her polarizing mentor, the outgoing President Andres Manuel López Obrador, from the same Morena party.
In a speech following the election, Sheinbaum promised to govern for all and to be an investor-friendly president.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador raises Sheinbaum's hand after she was sworn in as Mexico City's mayor on December 5, 2018.
Sheinbaum condemned the violence following Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel and has previously called for a Palestinian state.
Still, under López Obrador, the Mexican government has accepted US deportations of tens of thousands of non-Mexican citizens under a 2023 Biden administration rule.
