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.

Step aside Detroit, Chicago is going to become worse then you.
Wow. The voters had a chance to try to save the city, but just didn’t learn a thing.
The voters may not have wanted to save the City. They may be part of the Destroy America crowd.
To be fair, the other guy ran Chicago schoool system....
Outta the old frying pan, smack into the fire.
Looks like a white guy can no longer get elected mayor of a big city.
I don’t know of any top 10 cities that has a white guy as mayor.
Philadelphia
Maybe turnout was low, and only people who wanted something or were getting something from the city voted. Put city employees together with those in nursing homes and cemeteries, throw in the activists and non-profit groups, and you may have a majority right there.

Let it all burn. Let them all reap what they have sown. Screw em’ The more pain Chicongo feels the better. I just don’t care.
Chicago is corrupt as hell, it’s gone. Those that escape will be moving down here to Springfield and continue turning it blue. I now have a dem rep. I’ve already had several incidents here lately including my car being stolen. Scott Adams was right...time to seriously consider moving.
I think this theory sounds about right, that the Dums are controlled by the drug cartels.
DuPage County.

His campaign slogan must have been, “Keeping the marxist power without the psycho dancing freak”.
Let the killings continue!
Let’s Go Brandon
55. The Chicago Hub can also become one’s prison if you can’t leave it because of crime.
You don’t always need bars to make a jail.
It don’t look like they did any better with this token jackass.
I grew up in Hinsdale. As a teenaged girl, I jumped on the train a couple of times a month to go see my dentist on Michigan Avenue. Walked across the loop with no fear, got teeth done, walked back to my dad’s office , took train hime with him.
How many times would I be murdered on that nice walk today?
With a name like Johnson, has this guy bragged about having the biggest dick in Chicago, like Lori Lightfinger did?
