My name is Lee Hawkins. I've been a journalist for over 25 years. On my new

podcast, What Happened in Alabama, I get answers to some of the hardest questions about how things

came to be for many black Americans and the truth that must come before any reconciliation can

happen. I investigate my family history, my upbringing in

Minnesota and my father's painful nightmares about growing up in Alabama. What happened

in Alabama is a new series confronting the cycles of trauma for myself,

my family, and for many black Americans.

Listen now. The relationship of the state to the economy with a powerful new president for Mexico.

I'm David Brancaccio in New York.

As you've been hearing, the vote tally this morning suggests a landslide victory for what will be Mexico's first woman

president Claudia Shanebaum here with more on what a Shanebaum administration

would mean for Mexico's economy is Pamela Starr she She's a professor of international relations

and the practice of political science at the University of Southern California.

Welcome. Thank you. Glad to be here. It looks like Shane Baum and her party will have a lot of power,

super majorities in both houses of Mexico's Congress, but I also see the value of

the Mexican currency the peso has fallen on this news and I'm seeing nervous quotes from business analysts.

Are you thinking the business establishment sees more risk moving forward?

I think there's no doubt that they're saying more risk moving forward.

The conventional wisdom prior to the election was that Shambam was going to win a comfortable majority,

but she would not win the two-thirds majority

in both houses, the Congress that allows her

to pretty much change the Constitution at will.
