Good morning, Broadsheet readers! The Texas Supreme Court strengthens abortion ban with limits on exceptions, Female Founders Fund's Anu Duggal marks a decade of investing in women's health, and Mexico elects its first female president. Have a mindful Monday.
- Results are in. Mexico's voters went to the polls yesterday, where they elected the country's first female president. Candidate Claudia Sheinbaum is projected to win in a landslide with between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote. The result, experts say, speaks to the power of Mexico's ruling Morena party, which will have a major congressional majority as Sheinbaum succeeds her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
But for months, it's been clear that Mexico was poised to elect a female leader. Sheinbaum and Xóchitl Gálvez, both 61, were the only two serious candidates in the race. Sheinbaum was the frontrunner, a climate scientist and the former mayor of Mexico City. Gálvez, a former senator and businesswoman, led a coalition of opposition parties.
