The current front-runner in Mexico’s presidential election, Claudia Sheinbaum, is on the ballot because her party’s popular president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, must step aside.
The Supreme Court has a woman as chief justice in part because justices in Mexico serve 15-year terms.
I talked to Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, about obstacles American women face in politics.
More elected women are Democrats, which might seem obvious.
Walsh does think the US will ultimately elect a woman as president.
