AMLO's Surprise Endorsement: Sheinbaum Declared 'Best President in the World'

Mexico's Election 2025: AMLO's Strong Endorsement of Sheinbaum Sparks Debate Mexico City – Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) publicly endorsed Claudia Sheinbaum for president on June 1st, 2025, shortly after casting his vote. In a brief statement to reporters outside a polling station, AMLO declared Sheinbaum "the best president in the world." This endorsement comes at a crucial time in the election cycle and is expected to significantly impact the race. The video of AMLO's statement, circulating widely on social media, shows him briefly speaking to reporters under a tent at what appears to be a busy polling place. His words, though short, carry considerable weight given his influence within the 4T movement. While the video is short and doesn't show extensive interaction, the direct quote from AMLO is powerful: "Tenemos a la mejor presidenta del mundo, Claudia Sheinbaum." (We have the best president in the world, Claudia Sheinbaum.) The endorsement is likely to be analyzed extensively by political analysts, as AMLO remains a powerful figure in Mexican politics. His unequivocal support could sway undecided voters and boost Sheinbaum's campaign significantly. The coming days will reveal the full impact of this unexpected but highly significant statement.
