electorate

And this at a time of volatile politics and a restlessness among an electorate, many of whom feel squeezed and have done for years and years.

The political and economic backdrop is perilous: an electorate without much patience, limited economic growth and a wildly unpredictable international landscape, not least President Donald Trump.

This reform was passed before President Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in, but she is a firm supporter of it and polls suggest it has broad approval among the electorate too.

Despite consistently trashing Latinos, Trump increased his share of that electorate in each of his presidential runs and leaned on them last year to capture swing states like Arizona and Nevada.

Her then-gubernatorial campaign turned the latter into a television advertisement aimed at that era’s more moderate electorate.
