Join us to hear from an expert on prime US and Mexico issues. In the second half of the past decade, two populist movements rose to power in both sides of the Rio Grande: Trumpism and Obradorism (after the Mexican President López Obrador). This year, their future is on the ballot again, with Presidential elections in both Mexico and the United States.
The heir of Obradorism, Claudia Sheinbaum, won the Mexican contest in July and was sworn President on October 1, 2024. Will Trumpism pull a similar feat? What do these movements have in common? How will the bilateral relationship change depending on whether Trump or Harris wins? What are President Sheinbaum’s positions on immigration, commerce, democracy, and the war on the drug cartels?
