Specifically, Escalante was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the General Congress of the United Mexican States. The Congress also includes the Senate of the Republic.

Juan Pablo Escalante, Jr. is a member of the Morena party, the same party as Claudia Sheinbaum, who on June 2 was elected to become Mexico’s first female President. The Morena party won a majority of the seats in the Congress.

Mexico’s new government will be sworn in on October 1, 2024.
