Presidential hopeful and two-time candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, left, speaks to Delfina Gomez, who is running for Mexico state governor with his National Regeneration Movement, or MORENA, under a banner reading in Spanish "We are going to win," at a campaign rally in Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico state, Sunday, May 28, 2017. MORENA is attempting to unseat the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, known as the PRI, in June 4 gubernatorial elections in the state, one of the PRI's last remaining strongholds, where it has governed for 88 years.
