Mexico elects its 1st-ever woman president
Ruling party presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum greets supporters after the National Electoral Institute announced she held an irreversible lead in the election in Mexico City, June 3, 2024.
For the first time, Mexico will have a woman president. Claudia Sheinbaum is a 61-year-old scientist, left-wing politician and a former mayor of Mexico City. Also, this week, we’ll meet a child survivor of the war in Gaza who was able to travel to Qatar for medical treatment. And welcome to the Offline Club. It’s a place in Amsterdam where visitors pay a cover charge to hang out in a social setting that’s completely cut off from the digital world — no phones, tablets or laptops allowed.
