Mexico as well, our new president-elect is a physicist, a climate scientist no less, did her PhD training at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory... the very same one we saw the early days of in "Oppenheimer".

Sheinbaum is also a progressive, on paper seems spectacularly qualified for her six-year term as president.
Mexico - particularly the young and working classes - voted in a landslide for her, and gave her a congressional majority on both chambers, to boot.

Mexico voted very wisely this year.
