TEPETITÁN, Mexico — Signs displaying the smiling image of Mexico's president hang outside many houses in his tiny, rural home town in the southeastern state of Tabasco.
Some residents of Tepetitán remember Andrés Manuel López Obrador playing baseball as a boy. Many of them danced in the street when he became president in 2018 in a landslide.
In recent days, numerous residents appeared ready to vote for him again.
