"Mexico's Opposition Coalition Nominates Sen. Xóchitl Gálvez as Presidential Candidate for 2024"

Mexico's broad opposition coalition, known as the Broad Front for Mexico, has announced Senator Xóchitl Gálvez as its candidate for the 2024 presidential elections. This suggests that Mexico's next president will likely be a woman, as former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum leads most polls for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Morena party. Gálvez, a tech entrepreneur and senator, caucuses with the conservative National Action Party but is not a member. However, she faces challenges from López Obrador's popularity and his willingness to campaign against her, as well as obstacles within her own coalition.
