The parties have the best names this year:  Sigamos Haciendo Historia (Let's keep on making history) and Fuerza y Corazón por México (Strength and Heart for Mexico.)   Unfortunately Movimiento Ciudadano (Citizen's Movement) is forgettable.

Yet just one strategic use of the word "bowel" could totally change that around.

Wiki notes that as her family's religious heritage, but that she herself is secular.

MORENA easily won again with 1984 Reagan-esque landslide results. PAN+PRI got steamrolled.

So farewell AMLO and welcome President Sheinbaum.

She's apparently AMLO's puppet.

Well yes but that is how Mexican Politics has worked since the Revolution. No re-elections means successors with very meddlesome predecessors. Especially a very politically powerful one like AMLO.
