Mexico Prepares for Any Outcome in Polarized U.S. Election
U.S. presidential race between Harris and Trump is too close to call, with economic concerns and shifting voter demographics playing crucial roles. Mexico prepares for potential challenges in bilateral relations regardless of the outcome.
As the United States approaches its next presidential election, analysts from the Center for Research on North America (CISAN) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) are closely watching the razor-thin race between incumbent Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris. According to Roberto Zepeda Martínez, a CISAN expert, current polling trends show neither candidate holding a decisive lead, creating what he calls a "technical tie" that offers little clarity on the final outcome.
The lead-up to the election has underscored the complexity and polarization of U.S. politics. Although recent polls have given Trump a narrow advantage, experts warn that fluctuating dynamics could tilt the result at any moment. Speaking during a virtual press conference titled "Elections in the USA: The Final Stretch," Zepeda emphasized that Mexico must brace itself for either outcome, as both candidates bring unique challenges and opportunities to the bilateral relationship.
