First question how is she a puppet. Second question, and the Congress, what might be worrying about it?

  1. The president was thoroughly involved in the process of selecting the party's candidate. Claudia's campaign was that she'll continue with AMLO's plan

  2. With super majority they can make changes to the Constitution

Same thing with Biden lol. Obama interfered hard to get him elected during the primary. He's not great, but he's been surprisingly better than Trump (in every way but the genocide thing and immigration) so hopefully she's better than expected, too!

That's never good. It's basically waiting to be a monarchy in all but name. Look no further than Venezuela and North Korea
