[jameskikirkwood]

Mexican people keep her safe, Really, Mexican people fight to get your country back and safe for your future and family.

[oliviaLOVEShenry]

Wow, both her parents are scientists; her passion is physics with a PhD in Energy Engineering. I know it shouldn’t matter but if you look at her younger pictures, she’s had a glow up with her hair. Very impressive.

[eduardoarmenta]

She also won a novel peace prize and is an environmental scientist. Those are the type of qualifications one would expect from a president

[sharonloomis]

Hopefully she governs well. Looking forward to seeing how she handles the large problems.

Seems like another WEF installment…As a first-generation Mexican-American of immigrant parents, 🇲🇽 this news deeply saddens me. In my opinion, Claudia is not a good choice for President of Mexico. She is known for her feminist and communist stances, disguised as “friendly” democratic policies—at her core, she is a Marxist/communist leader. This is a disheartening choice for Mexico, communism seemingly undermines traditional values and benefiting the centralized government while neglecting the poor and destroying the middle class, make the government richer and the average citizens poorer— this happening in the USA today; we are in the worst financial place because of democratic leaders. Mexico must be cautious of progressive ideologies that lead to communism, as seen in the U.S. with leaders like Obama and Biden. The Democratic Party has led America into higher inflation, higher taxes, declining morals, and economic struggles, which I don’t want for Mexico. Communism enriches government officials, neglects small businesses, centralizes power, and delivers false promises to the poor, resulting in economic inefficiency, lack of incentives, suppression of freedoms, government corruption, economic stagnation, poor living standards, human rights violations, lack of innovation, and bureaucratic expansion. These issues highlight the negative impacts of communism on economic efficiency, individual freedoms, and societal well-being. 🇲🇽🙏🏼😕

En Español—

Como mexicana-americana de primera generación de padres inmigrantes, 🇲🇽 esta noticia me entristece profundamente. En mi opinión, Claudia no es una buena elección para Presidenta de México. Es conocida por sus posturas feministas y comunistas, disfrazadas de políticas democráticas “amistosas”—en su núcleo, es una líder marxista/comunista. Esta es una elección desalentadora para México. El comunismo aparentemente socava los valores tradicionales y beneficia al gobierno centralizado mientras descuida a los pobres y destruye a la clase media, haciendo al gobierno más rico y a los ciudadanos comunes más pobres. Esto está sucediendo hoy en los EE.UU.; estamos en la peor situación financiera debido a los líderes demócratas. México debe tener cuidado con las ideologías progresistas que conducen al comunismo, como se ha visto en EE.UU. con líderes como Obama y Biden. El Partido Demócrata ha llevado a Estados Unidos a una mayor inflación, impuestos más altos, moral en declive y problemas económicos, algo que no quiero para México. El comunismo enriquece a los funcionarios del gobierno, descuida a las pequeñas empresas, centraliza el poder y ofrece falsas promesas a los pobres, resultando en ineficiencia económica, falta de incentivos, supresión de libertades, corrupción gubernamental, estancamiento económico, bajos niveles de vida, violaciones de derechos humanos, falta de innovación y expansión burocrática. Estos problemas destacan los impactos negativos del comunismo en la eficiencia económica, las libertades individuales y el bienestar social. 🇲🇽🙏🏼😕

She will be a great president. Viva Mexico! May God continue to bless the people and progress us all forward in the right direction.

Shienbam first women in Mexico
Could Harris become first in USA?

[cyprusmeraz]

President Sheinbaum is not Mexico's first president of Jewish heritage. Salinas de Gortari is of Sephardic heritage. He obtained Spanish citizenship in proving his family fled to Mexico due to the Spanish Inquisition. Plutarco Elías Calle was also likely of Sephardic origin.

[comeandletusreason]

Too strange! 🤔and all the blood shed of candidates!?!

[lilianaS.]

Is this really a good thing for Mexico?

[christopherochoa]

The people that live in Mexico, in the ranchos and pueblos, voted Claudia, out of concern that if the PRI or PAN won, they would not be lifted out poverty, and forgotten as they were under the PAN or PRI, which catered to what US demanded no longer. The number one priority for them is not security, but to be forgotten by the administration, that's why the Morena candiate won.

[JazzATrain]

The fact that we elected a Jewish woman to be President proves that Mexico is an inclusive and multi-cultural society. I am deeply proud of Mexico's diversity and our openness to people from all backgrounds. Other nations should learn from our example. ¡Viva La Presidenta Sheinbaum!

[albertomendoza]

She was born or the year of the Tiger and she's also Jewish and. Very intelligent.

[AlejandroDiaz-yb]

Biggest tragedy for this country. The regime's hegemony will bring the worst economic crisis in decades. The party has announced the reform of the judiciary, which will be elected by popular vote, and the removal of independent bodies, such as the electronic system regulator. In the best case scenario Mexico will become a copy of Venezuela and in the worst case to Myanmar. The current government is commissioning the army to manage airports and build infrastructure.

Mexicos cooked 😂😂 been cooked for hundreds of years

[Bootes_Void]

She’s not the first Mexican president with Jewish descendants, not even the second but the 3rd.

[simple-human-being]

This is amazing, so inspirational to see
