The pair of candidates spent the weekend trying to woo over undecided voters ahead of Tuesday’s election

The Windy City decided on its new mayor Tuesday after a tight race between two blues, with a progressive, Bernie Sanders-endorsed Democrat taking the keys to the Chicago mayor's office.

Progressive Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson defeated his moderate opponent, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, to take the Chicago mayor’s race, replacing outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who came in third before the runoff.

Vallas garnered the support of the Chicago police union and major business groups while Johnson got the backing of Chicago's teacher's union.

More of the same.

Just this time, maybe HE doesn’t check off any LGBTQIA+ boxes.

How many EVs can your deep red states generate? How many Members of Congress can they elect? How many US Senators can they elect?

This new guy Brandon IS worse, than Lightfoot, just as Adams IS actually worse than DeBlasi0....why? because even if things stay as they are (bad enough) they have succeeded in their perceptual game of convincing you that you have finally taken a step forward with the new guy.it can, has, and will go on like this forever.

for all practical purposes, it would likely make little difference-—close race, but certainly no “a choice not an echo.” They were both part of the Establishment,one way or another. Brandon’s idiot sloganeering continues on with the euphemistic plan of “investing” in stuff that will address, as always “the roots” of crime,rather than coming down hard on the perpetrators of crime, which they will NEVER do. It’s always the “roots” an absurd deflection considering they don’t have the foggiest notion how even to discuss those roots. This is merely a plan for taxpayer’s money, which will be plundered more and more under this guy. Must go, Utopia awaits.

This is like NYC. The morons elect Bill DeBlasio and complain how bad he is, then they reelect him and complain how bad he is, then they elect Eric Adams who is even worse.
