- A woman has been elected president for the first time in Mexico's 200-year history. Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor, is the projected winner after Sunday's election. Ryan Berg, director of the Americas program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins CBS News to discuss how Sheinbaum's win could impact U.S.-Mexico relations.

For context: The current ruling party is the highest backed political party and the highest backed president in decades as Mexicans finally managed to kick out the corrupt elite that ruled over Mexico for 80 plus years. The current president has the second highest approval rating of any president in the world and Sheinbaum is his successor who won by a land slide too.
Says a lot that even modern Mexicans have more voting resolve than the modern young American softies that give up on voting the second things don't got their way, then wondering why everything is up in flames
By "corrupt elite" do you mean PRI?
@@justinfleming5119 Yes and the PAN.
Si claro AMLO y Claudia son unos “santos” 😂
Why do you say that like their party isn't ran by the cartel? They can also fabricate and cheat during elections through cartel violence. Why do you think so many have died yet this party remains breathing?
The U.S is a big part of the problem with the violence in Mexico the Americans are the biggest drug consumers in the world, they help a lot with supporting the rich cartels, Hopefully Sheinbaum and the president of the U.S can do something about this problem.
The u.s. isn't forcing them to sell drugs. Accept accountability.
@loualbino5536 no their just supplying the cartels with their weapons and you can thank the pharmaceutical companies for addicting mostly the gringoes on drugs
We are also flooding both countries with military weapons in the hands of civilians.
@@loualbino5536 agree but by your logic no one is putting a gun to your head to consume drugs so both countries have issues one is rich the other one not so much i personally love both countries i was born in one and my kids in the other one i love both and we are interconnected i like mexico being a neighbor of the united states great pop culture and great food count me in
@@loualbino5536no they aren't forcing them, they are buying them and giving them the tools to keep the business afloat
So much misinformation here. AMLO did NOT pick Sheinbaum. "Democratic backsliding in Mexico???" Are you kidding me?? Look at the U.S. for C sake.
Yes amlo did indeed pick Sheinbaum, everybody in Mexico knows this.
And this guy said Amlo said the law didn't apply to him. Amlo never said that. That's a straight-up lie.
@@doingtime20 Yes, damn right, n if he chose her, then so do we.. There's a new regime in Mexico n it's not a globalist one, it's a Nationalist takeover of Mexico, Thank God..
@@doingtime20You don't know what your talking about! You're not a Mexican nor living in México.
@@user-Michoacan I am a mexican living in Mexico, you just want to the truth to go away somehow.
Once Mexico under UMLO no longer subordinated to the US, it started to grow economically. Claudia says that she will continue with the fourth transformation. So foreign corporations have to continue paying taxes as any other corporations.
Russia has a new ally, Mexico, with the new socialist government in power with Obrador and Shienbaum
🐏🐏🐏🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
What are you talking about? First please go ahead and read both the USMCA and the Mexican Constitution as they state what Mex. can do and can't. And one it can't afford to lose is its economic position it enjoys with the US and Canada.
@@carlosgzz5772yeah and now they just won super majority in congress which gives them the power to change the constitution lol
No, he is only subordinated to the cartels
Mexico is a Sovereign, an Independent Country, not a colony of the US, or any other countries
This Government of Mexico isn't at US service. The US needs Mexico just like Mexico needs the US commerce. Now, Mexico has the opportunity to grow the economics
Thanks to AMLO,
Yeah the US is used to every other country following their commands that’s why they don’t like Countries like China or Russia cause they can’t be controlled .

I am residente permanente of Mexico and an estadounidense. Mexico has the right to self determination just as the US does. I hope the US negotiates with Mexico as an equal and address issues fairly. Both are amazing counties in which to live!
Claudia is not the first Jewish Mexican presidente. Carlos Salinas de Gortari who was the 60th president of Mexico from 1988 to 1994, and he is a Sephardic Jew.
@@GlickseNo, actually her grandparents come from Bulgaria and Lithuania. Both her parents were born in Mexico.
@@Glickse Where can I see the records of her Jewish ethnic background being fake? Did you see it already for yourself? Or is it just a thought as you said?
@@Glickse okay, although she has openly said she is jot a practicing Jew, I think she stated she was an atheist. Anyway interesting information, thanks👍🏻
What color is the sun in your world?
What ya talking about 🐀
Mexico has demonstrated a level of maturity the USA has only dreamt of especially with their challenges and issues.
America has too many enemies. Women president won’t be able to handle that stress. Look at all the female governors that we have. Not impressed. Having a female president hasn’t proven anything much around the world. But let’s see. Wish her all the best
Yes because our public Universities.
Lol
Then how come everyone wants to be in America so bad they break the law to get here?
@@officerjimleahy oh, don't ask them those tough questions. 😂
Mexico doesnt care what US thinks 🤯
Mexico cares about US foreign aid and the remittances sent to Mexico from the US. If Donald Trump is elected they will care because US troops might have to deal with the Mexican Drug Cartels and put an end to them. That means arresting corrupt Mexican politicians and the police. Texas is dealing with Mexico using TXDPS and National Guard troops. A new military base has been constructed on the border in Texas. Things will be getting serious Don't Mess With Texas.
The opposite is true as well
So, you agree with me that Mexicans should return to Mexico, right?
@@comentariopolitico1014better yet, everybody should return from where their family came from. Only the Indians should remain 😎
we just do enough to keep US like the boss, but inner we do whatever we want, always
You are being bias. You are not focusing on the positives fact AMLO has done for Mexico and how the economy has improved in all mexicos history.
The USA wanted xochitl so they could loot the resources from Mexico so I guess the media is also unhappy .
The old regime was pro USA Globalism, this one is pro Mexican Nationalism.. Reason it's news to the US elites..
The economy has not improved anything. We have a .9% PIB increase in this administration. The fact the Peso is strong against other currencies is a result of the Bank of Mexico, which is independent to the president.
@josedelbosque7559 Ok, keep telling yourself that.. The whole world sees the positive changes thanks to AMLO n his policies.. It's a complete regime change to a Nationalist movement, not the Globalist corrupt regime that wanted to hand all natural resources over to USA n Europe..
@@josedelbosque7559 you don’t know what your talking about 🤡🤡
She wasn’t picked by her predecessor the people choose her as a candidate.
She was put in there by the USA
@@Ishnunez if anything this political party is popular because it isn't a puppet to the USA as all the rest were. Read first.
@Ishnunez please explain what your problem with her is that you would go so far as to form the conspiracy theory that she is a US plant, when they could of just planted a female president elect her which is way easier
@@Ishnunezwouldn't it be easier to just put her in the US? This comment makes no sense
@@Purplethingyt not really because she lives in Mexico and this way USA can control Mexico
She wasn’t picked by her predecessor. Misogyny is ingrained in American men but they can’t see that.
Just because she was picked by her predecessor doesn't mean she is isn't incredibility qualified, accomplished and popular. It just means that likely whoever Obrador would have choose would likely have become next president.
Russia has a new ally, Mexico, with the new socialist government in power with Obrador and Shienbaum
@@calebcorrea7556 She wasnt picked by her predecessor @calebcorrea7556 , AMLO likely favored her but there was a poll done within MORENA Party, there was a primary if you will and out of a few she Won the poll to be the candite running agaisnt the Right. She is qualified and accomplished indeed and will do well running Mexico, looking for its interests and not the US. Obrador did help her Win, but that wasnt the only factor in these elections. Fun fact, more Men voted for Claudia than Women, the opposite is true of HilaruyClinton.
They never talk about the scholarship, about the poverty been reduced, about the raising of the minimum wage etc etc, only the bad stuff.that happens. There are a lot of good things happening in Mexico for the Mexicans, if your favorite transnational is not doing as well because is not stealing from Mexico as much, well, I am not sorry.
So many lies the reporter.
Like?
be specific
Exactly!!!
Did he call "reign" the term of the president? How biased are these two clowns.
At least Mexico can have elections where the candidates aren’t crying about the election being rigged if the outcome isn’t in their favor.
Wrong. That is happening. Mainstream Mexican media are going tons of stories about fraudulent actions throughtout the elections
You obviously don't know what is going on in Mexico.
@@maryannwaters339True, and sadly looking through the comments almost no one has a clue.
In fact, Xóchitl Gálvez, the opposition candidate, conceded the results, but she and her supporters said that they are going to challenge the results of the election; basically, she did pull a Trump.
I mean the conservative parties are trying to do just that for minor irregularities, but there's not much maneuver space with a 30% lead.
You think Mexico can help us on schools crimes against our kids. At the beginning of Lopez Obrador I did not like him during covid but in time I noticed how Mexico is improving that's when I noticed he is a good President. Maybe we can learn something from him.
This guy is twisting words misleading.
how?
Good evening congratulations Claudia sheinbaum elected Mexico’s first women president have 🇮🇳a great day.
They pepper in bad statistics like we don't know the truth 😅
The comparison he makes about Obrador's homicide rate vs Peña Nieto's homicide rate is misleading and disingenuous.
Obrador inherited a high homicide rate from Peña Nieto yet has managed to curtail the problem. On the other hand Peña inherited a low homicide rate but let it raise to historic levels. The way US media talks about the issue you would assume the opposite was true.
What this Means? The USA better get their act together because a Mexican Women not Jewish will get rid of the corruption in Mexico lindo y querido.
Jewish always comes first. 🇮🇱 always comes first.
Mexico has reached the highest level of corruption with the current administration. Nobody is safe in Mexico these days, and the government has allowed organized crime to reign freely. More of the same to come.
@@sbman436 Claudia is not your typical 'Jew" and her alligiance is to Mexico and Mexico only.
Yeah up right 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🇲🇽🇲🇽
@@pidiroderics8425You are wrong Israel is first before any other country in the world 🇮🇱🧐
yea becouse the old regimen was corrupted dindnt counted total omicides they manipulated numbers, you dosent even know
Happens with every president elect. Nothing new
Congratulations Mexico
America jailing leading political opponents trying to critique the democracy of another country is laughable.
sorry your orange god lost, bub
You mean a powerful former president committed felonies in a state and a jury of his peers found him guilty? Trumps free, he’s not in jail
🍊🐔 got caught.
Wow this reporter is the worst he's feeding you lies !! first and foremost, Mr reporter who provides the cartels with firepower ?? You , made in the US!!! you speak of FACTS ok do some research and will point you in to what presidency had the bloodiest terms !! The far right PRI , PAN !!! For a a president who is trying to fix a 30 year battle against cartels is NOT GOING TO TAKE 6 years to fix it !! specially when YOU THE us.A keep buying billions of drugs and keep building and selling fire power !!
It only proves that in the US of A, nobody is above the law. Unlike Mexico, for example.
By the way Sheinbaum was not picked by her predecessor, he could not have done what other presidents made before the “dedaso” or the appointed one. Please do not misinform.
Except it was 'dedazo', amlo did pick her. You just don't like it because it's exactly what PRI used to do.
AMLO cherry picked Claudia! Dont lie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@doingtime20 how so? they put it up to a vote there were few candidates running in the primary. She got the most votes, just like she did a week ago. Misinformed Americans
@@pidiroderics8425 Sure, just like AIFA, he tells everyone what to vote for and then pretends it was decided by the people.
@@pidiroderics8425 People do whatever amlo says, if he told people his candidate was Hitler people would oblige.
When people are stupid they’ll stay stupid. Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽
We should worry that we have criminal as the first runner for the GOP and not for a climate scientist female president .😂😂😂
You need to NOT have an idea about Mexico to criticize the best president of decades in Mexico!
Cherry picking on your opinions... Lol
The corporate media has people fighting over D- and F candidates while Mexico has just elected an A candidate. The Morena coalition has risen to power by attending the needs of the majority rather than the wealthy few. This is the roadmap for a true democracy in the US.
RiGHT-ON CLAUDiA
CONGRATULATIONS ❤LEAD
MEXiCO AMONG GREAT Nation
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where can we see how the USA did against the same 16 metrics over last six years?
Congratulations to her. We are so behind a lot of the world 🌎
Because someone with lady part won an election? Are you moving to Mexico? Make it Make sense.
200 years recent first woman 🎉cladiana Mexico president.we wish from chennai.india.mirracle win God bless you ❤
Obviously voters thought differently about those issues that you highlighted.
It's nice to see the corporate overlords butthurt about Claudia. It's a sign that she is good for our country. So very unlike the 'Saving Mexico' that the Time magazine wrote about EPN. As we say here, 'put ointment on your anus, to heal up your irritation'
That guy is lying.
Mexico needs to stop the caravans, drugs, and cartels.
I wish Mexico would become a lawful country. I traveled through Mexico, I love Mexico, and the people are very wonderful. The Mexico people are very hard working.
Considering we don't have a president right now, it probably doesn't mean much.
He contradicts himself saying México largest trading partner for the US and México been the most violent in the last 6 years..
Thanks to the US drugs addiction.
Viva Mexico
Nothing will change with mexico. All candidates are organized
Untrue, Mexican politics the last 6 years have taken a huge turn for the better and everything is starting to get really interesting. Current president Obrador has the second highest approval rating of any leader world wide.
Nope. Mexico is changing in real time! Mexico is heading into a great era.
Assinine opinion with all do respect.
@@1988vikable👍😶
@@ChicagoMillingCo.👍😶
AMLO did NOT pick Sheinbaum. So many lies the reporter.
Rocking it for 61!
This is a bad reportage
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro congratulated her during one of his tv shows. That speaks volumes about her and her political party.
Stop with the damn heart hands already!
Mexico has been around thousands of years longer then many countries today. Mexico has a right to be independent and explore its opportunities. Mexico should have the right to carry a gun and all this corruption in Mexico would be over.
AMLO did an excellent job helping Mexico develop . ❤
Well, excuse me but us Mexicans don't care about what *you* need as a US citizen. Not when it comes to our governance or remotely close to it. With that said, democracy hasn't taken a step back, people have voted, it's just that the majority of our people believe in a certain National Project and are backing that project up.
The US needs a stable, healthy and productive neighbour with a strong middle class and higher level skills, if it wants to compete against China that is...
She is not Jewish she is part Jewish descendent 100% mexican born in Mexico grew up with tacos and jalapeños 🤔
communist and feminist what could go wrong…
Hello! Hello! CIA, are you there? 🙄 CIA, can you hear me? 🙄. CIA, please respond 🤨🫤. Damn it! They hung up on me again😡
CIAactors
CeeEyyAee from the chosen crew
a) 'if' USA truly wanted to stop the drugs coming from México (or any other place for that matter) it would, CIA, DEA and not just now since Nixon, Reagan and so on have worked with Asia, Afghanistan and cartels in Colombia an México, but no one talks about that, they don't control the intake of drugs just as they can not control people from smoking
Do you know who loves the "Hugs, Not Bullets?" The CARTELS! No wonder they love the previous president and campaigned HEAVILY, to the point of forcing people in the states they control, to vote for her.
Completely wrong. No one was forced to vote for Sheinbaum, that's a total fabrication. Hugs not bullets was never about treating the cartels nicely, it also never came with a seize fire. It is about looking at the social causes leading to the existance of cartels instead of focusing on trying to shoot their way out of the problem.
A former president declared total war to cartels and that increased violence and the number of smaller cartels. Regular people were kidnapped in every city of all states. Obrador wisely tried to avoid repeating that. Better blame those doctors that prescribe opioids to everyone that has some pain. These patients are the future clients of Mexican cartels.
Misinformation
@Blankarte Really? Explain, then, why only cartel leaders pay for their crimes if, and only if they are shipped to America? Do you recall what happened when the FEDERALES arrested one scion of a cartel leader? Do you remember that the PRESIDENTE ordered his release? "Hugs, not Bullets" at its best!
You got it wrong most of the deaths are cartel’s members and the bullets provided by the NRA so cartel members don’t like hugs
Guess they didn't learn from Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. Zero steps forward, 50 steps back.
Is not mexico nor Argentina at a brink of collapse and civil war.
guess you dont know how Mexico has had it in the past with corrupt to the core, neoliberal and conservative parties that governed with total majority and did Mexico lots of Harm, and stop yelling the Cuba Venezuela nonsense it hasnt worked and Never will in Mexico.
She is a friend of the cartel's
Really!!!!
Yes, "hugs, not bullets" only works for the cartels. They love it and love the previous and current president.
Quit talking out of your rear. This was one of the biggest election victories ever for a reason. Mexicans are on her side.
What would even be the motivation for this. The other candidate was a woman too. I have a sneaking suspicion this is the real issue you have with this
Yes Andre’s Lopez obrador is a friend of the cartels so she is going to follow his lead on working with the cartels. It’s all in Annabel Hernandez book that led her to investigate the new incoming president
Congratulations and hopefully you can get your country in order and get rid of the Cartels and good riddens to that idiot former president!
if you guys stop consuming drugs in the USA, there would be no cartels.
Lollll cartels? Say that to American consumers and C1A, they finance cartels.
I hope usonians can get rid of the pharmaceutical industry out of their government and stop doing drugs 🙂
She was elected because we want her to follow the former president job, we want her to run the country almost like him. The former president is going to pass to Mexican history like one of the best presidents.
Was gonna watch this but saw that its CBS so
The Republican snowflakes are so triggered
As are the misogynists.
the same people cheering the election of a jew in mexico are also protesting to free palestine. pick a side already.

Viva La Mexico! (smile)
Nothing good will come of this.
so negative huh
Why?
Says the American that has sleepy joe as a president .
Nothing good comes of your comment!!
When energy doesn’t contribute to a hotter world, it becomes bad and unworthy of subsidies?
Though she's not religiously observant, Sheinbaum identifies as culturally Jewish and has spoken about her heritage in the past. “I grew up without religion. That's how my parents raised me,” Sheinbaum, 61, said in 2018 at gathering hosted by a Jewish organization in Mexico City.
A Mexican Jacinda Arden I hope not.
Pretty much.
Kinda 😕
You mean she will burnout and give up?
@@jennyvinyl85 spot on!
As an American, I am envious of Mexico’s Morena Party. Let’s look at just 3 of the major accomplishments under AMLO:
1. Tripled the minimum wage while the US minimum wage has been unchanged since 2009. No doubt millions have been raised out of poverty while the US minimum wage is only good for kids to get some spending money and no grown adult can survive on it. It is a disgrace and a shame upon the US that we continue to have this pathetic minimum wage. In fact, one of the 2 major parties want to abolish it completely. That’s how low we have sunk as a nation in terms of decency and morality towards our fellow citizens.
2. Made judges have to be elected all the way up to the Supreme Court level and implemented term limits, while the US Judicial branch is probably the most corrupt branch in the US government, which is saying something. They are the root cause of corporations being able to quell democracy in the US through legalizing unlimited campaign contributions.
3. Huge infrastructure projects throughout the country that will result in big economic growth. Biden represented a shift in this from previous administrations, but the US infrastructure had been neglected.
Amazing accomplishments that the US should emulate and seek to implement. Mexico believes in using the power of government to help regular people while the US believes in using it to give corporations even more money that they do not need or deserve! Those are the facts right now!
VIVA MÉXICO 🇲🇽 VIVA AMLO, VIVA CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM.
A México se le respeta.
Yes but homocides have gone down by 17% last3 years.
Little did you know that with Felipe Calderon and the PRI used to hide the actual numbers so we’ll never truly know cause that’s when they crime grew back in the mid 00s
Andrés Manuel López obrador 60 minutes interview in his Chanel it’s impressive
I notice Ryan Berg is not asked directly how the government of Mexico should deal with the criminal cartels in Mexico.
Amlo did not pick Claudia the party picked her.
He is the party
She will fit in perfect with her jewish cousins in the usa and all other nations
Next time interview someone who knows how to read homicides chart, most of the information he mentioned is not true or he really tries to propagate lies or a false narrative
Only the best will prevail and reporters and citizens that are derail by a train will never accept the very water air that we breathe!
I am Mexican and US citizen and I am only one person.
That's cool 😎 a dual citizen. I want to find a 2nd country to do the same. Always be proud of who you are.

This reporter Lied about most issues. Mexico has issues with violence because the U.S. Has a tremendous drug problem. Plus the U.S. does not deal with the cartels within its territory. Who delivers the drugs within the USA? Are we going to blame Mexico for that as well?
