Mexico: Results of the Midterm Elections

Mexico's June 6 mid-term elections were historic, not just in terms of its size, but also in their significance. With over 21,000 seats up for election from the federal to the local level, the election was viewed by many as a referendum on President López Obrador's first three years in office. While the President's Morena party had significant electoral victories, the coalition of the opposing parties—the PRI, PAN, and PRD—also performed well in some respects. 

The results of the June 6 election show both continuity and change in the Mexican political landscape. Join the Mexico Institute, UCSD's Center of U.S.-Mexican Studies, Oraculus, and Tijuana Innovadora on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at 12 pm (ET), for an analysis of the election results and what they mean for the future of Mexican politics and U.S.-Mexico relations.
