Sheinbaum secured the most ballots on Sunday in the nation’s 200-year democratic history, as much as 61% of the vote, according to a sample count by the country’s electoral authority. The tally also predicts her coalition of parties will secure two-thirds of both houses of Congress, allowing it to change the constitution without the opposition’s consent.
