Is Michelle Wu Boston’s mayor in waiting? That’s the contention of the Atlantic, which recently published a glowing profile of the at-large city councilor. But would Wu actually challenge incumbent Marty Walsh — especially since sitting mayors are notoriously tough to beat?
On this episode of WGBH News' politics podcast, The Scrum, Adam Reilly and Peter Kadzis talk it through with Yawu Miller of the Bay State Banner and Joan Vennochi of the Boston Globe (spoiler alert: signs point to yes). Then the foursome tackles two other #bospoli topics of note: the 2019 city-council elections, which could end with that body controlled by women and people of color, and the soon-to-be-completed search for Boston’s new school superintendent, which has elicited some frustration among BPS parents.
