On September 6, 2023, Morena announced that Claudia Sheinbaum had won its poll to become the coordinator of its movement. Marcelo Ebrard rejected the result. “Me queda claro que en Morena ya no tenemos espacio” (It is clear to me that there is no longer room for us in Morena), he said the next day. On September 11, Sheinbaum said: “aquí siguen abiertas las puertas para que él regrese” (here the doors are still open for him to return).
On June 20, 2024, as president-elect, Sheinbaum named Ebrard Secretary of Economy. “Estoy muy contenta que Marcelo nos acompañe” (I am very happy that Marcelo is joining us), she said.
