Tweet by Ian Bremmer (@ianbrem ...) posted on March 7. The post highlights Mexico President Sheinbaum's 85% approval rating, calling her the strongest leader of a major democracy. It also mentions a significant turnout in Mexico City today, accompanied by an image of a massive crowd gathered in the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square.
