Boston Mayor Wu Embraces Trump Resistance as Campaign Heats Up

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is leaning into her newfound role as both a favorite foil for Republican critics in Washington and a capable messenger for Democrats as her reelection campaign heats up.

Wu, a Democrat, will officially launch her push for another term on Saturday. She had previously confirmed her plans to run in the Nov. 4 election but delayed her formal announcement amid the birth of her daughter, Mira, in January and preparations for last month’s high-stakes appearance before Congress over Boston’s immigration policies.
