AMLO Ran Mexico as a Maverick. His Protege Is Playing It Safe
With voters set to elect their first woman president, no one’s sure how Claudia Sheinbaum will govern if she wins.
At a hotel in Acapulco in April, Claudia Sheinbaum gave a speech to a sea of bankers and financiers promising that Mexico under her watch would have a responsible approach to debt. She then headed to a rally where she assured residents of the beachside resort that their city would be rebuilt after the damage wrought by a Category 5 hurricane. The next day she was in the southern state of Chiapas, telling farmers there would be state support for coffee and corn production.
