In Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist, could soon govern. The 61-year-old is running for election on June 2. She launched her campaign in early March in Mexico City. Sheinbaum is considered one of the frontrunners and aims to continue the work of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who cannot run again. Both belong to the Morena party. Mexico’s current president is known as a populist with a connection to the people. In contrast, Sheinbaum is a technocrat benefiting from the popularity of the current president. She currently leads in polls for the election.
