Claudia Sheinbaum was elected as Mexico's first female president Sunday following the deadliest election campaign in the country's modern history.


More than three dozen candidates were assassinated, including a local government candidate in central Puebla state who was killed on Friday, increasing the total number of those killed to 37 ahead of Sunday’s vote, according to data from security consultancy Integralia obtained by Reuters.



Across the country, there were more than 20,000 positions to fill and 70,000 candidates vying for the spots.

Mexico's first female president is also its first Jewish president​

Though Claudia Sheinbaum isn't religious and describes her Jewish heritage in cultural terms, her election is a "benchmark" for Jews in Latin America, a scholar notes.

I wonder how long she will last before being ousted or made into shark bait.
