Claudia Sheinbaum secured Mexico's presidency as the nation's first female leader, inheriting a legacy marked by Andrés Manuel López Obrador's polarizing reforms and a Morena coalition poised to gain a two-thirds majority in Congress. Concurrently, NOAA forecasts a hyperactive 2024 Atlantic hurricane season driven by record sea surface temperatures and a shifting El Niño pattern, creating severe risks for major landfalls and potential disruptions to the November U.S. election timeline.
