NBCMAY 2023
While Morena has dominated Mexican politics for quite some time, the party is fracturing. Internal conflict and the lack of a clear direction after Pres. Obrador's departure creates uncertainty for Mexico's ruling party, and Claudia Sheinbaum has a lot of work to do in order to bring everyone together. The Morena party hasn't lived up to its promise, and it may be time for an alternative to the ruling regime.
After a contentious battle over who will represent Morena in next year's presidential election, Claudia Sheinbaum has emerged victorious, and the party will unite around her to secure victory. Politics can become divisive and ugly at times, but members of Morena know that they all have the same goal. The party won't allow personal differences to interfere with uniting behind Sheinbaum.
