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.

Voter fraud has been very good for Chicago.

That’s what Ken Griffin of hedge fund Citadel fame determined a while back when he packed up and went to Miami. I suspect more will follow shortly.

He is more anti-police than her... he’ll probably go to the reparations nonsense also, like SF is debating right now.

It’s not fraud.

We are a shrinking minority. Stop worrying about voting.

America is no longer one Nation. We have the USA and the USSA. Old Time Liberals are trying to have it both ways, but soon must chose.

At least Brandon Johnson looks like a normal human being. Unlike the freaky Beetlejuice Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

Too bad the white centrist Paul Vallas did not win. He seemed like a rational liberal

The north central US, from Gary Indiana to Minneapolis always seemed to trend left, but it and New England and the west coast are getting euro-land far.

I suspect that’ll turn out to be a difference of ‘crazy and looks it’ and ‘crazy and well coiffured.’

Not in the Red States, and they are the ones growing. IL is a dying State.

“.. this choice after all the mayhem under Lightfoot seriously makes you questions the voters there.”

Illinios? Chicago? Democrats?
Do they even need or have voters?
Some of us are sorts kinda wondering.

The radical Marxist won in Chicago tonight.
Get out while you can.

Brandon Johnson is the likely winner in the Chicago Mayoral race replacing the short crazy lady.

The Commie Squad loves this guy.

Johnson is the predicted winner against Paul Vallas who supports the police.

Vallas never had a chance. Chicago voters hate the cops.
