My beloved husband Ricardo is from Michoacan....and we watch with great interest the events in his home country. This is wonderful, and a new era can begin...Bien hecho!!!

As a woman I am appreciative of this historical moment. But we should take into account what her values and agenda is.

Due to her strong background in leadership, the sciences, and education I am very hopeful this will be good for Mexico. I am hopeful she will address so many everyday issues of the Mexican people: cleaner water/river ways, proper trash disposal, education, healthcare, infrastructure, crime. Viva Mexico!

Weak currency do they mean the US dollar? 🤔

[McDago]

It is amazing what a determined Jewish woman can accomplish! I wish Mexico and it's people the very best.

[LATINGUY]

Get your facts straight. The currency is not weak!

[vanessammiller]

What a unique moment. In my lifetime I could not have imagined. Ahead of America, and yet we brag about being front-runners on everything. We just pound our chest and make the most noise.

Saying that it’s not a woman of indigenous heritage. But Jewish

[colitipal]

There is A LOT of hate in the comment section.

[RenzoTx]

Congrats to Mexico! Hope she sets a precedent of reform and prosperity for her people.

[Raaaaven]

I am so happy and excited for Mexico! ❤

[pidiroderics]

All the asinine comments on here by Americans just tells me there's no hope for them. Your education system has failed you.

[investwithjeff]

I hope she isn't corrupt like the majority of US politicians

It is a lie that the currency is bad, it is the second that appreciated best against the dollar in the world
