Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was put on blast by critics for blaming her dwindling re-election prospects on race and gender instead of the city's crime crisis.
"I'm a Black woman and, let's not forget, some folks frankly don't support us in leadership roles," Lightfoot told The New Yorker recently.
"I think Lori's time is up," local radio host Ray Stevens responded Monday on "Fox & Friends First."
"Personally, I don't [think she can pull off this race], but I've been wrong before as the polls have in the past," he said earlier in the segment.
Stevens told co-anchors Todd Piro and Ashley Strohmier that, instead of fixating on skin color, the race will boil down to key issues – most importantly, crime.
"Chicago has a rampant crime problem, and not only is it in Chicago, but its has reached the collar counties… crime, crime crime is going to be the issue in this election and, personally, what I'm hearing from my constituents, from listeners, is that it will come down to [Paul] Vallas [or] Brandon Johnson."
In the latest polls, Lightfoot trails Vallas by 19 points and Johnson by two. Jesus Chuy Garcia is also locked in a tight race with Lightfoot.

Absent voter fraud...................IN CHICAGO?!?!?!?!?!?.....................
Dominion has her back.
Nothing “light” about Lightfoot heh.
To paraphrase a great statesman:
If you don’t vote for me you ain’t lesbian and you sho nuff ain’t black.👉🏿👭🏿
Chicago has rigged EVERY election since the days of Al Capone.
Lori Lightfoot
Maxine Waters
Sheila Jackson Lee
Ilhan Omar
Etc
Etc
Etc
I noticed last week that all the vagrants are gone from O’Hare now. She probably put them all up in one of the downtown hotels. On our dime, of course.
Lightfoot is slipping. She forgot to add that she’s also an ugly lesbian.
Come on Lori, don’t hold back.
I’d run for office but people won’t vote for me as I’m not a woman of color...they get all the breaks.
See I can say stupid crap like her too, maybe I should run for office.
Ummm...didn’t she get elected? I think they oppose her now because she can’t do the job. Apparently being black and lesbian isn’t enough.
And they especially don't support you when you are manifestly incompetent and in way over your head. If TPTB in Chicago decide LL should be gone, she is gone.
National debt paid in full. Church attendance way up as in the 1950s. Peace between Russia and Ukraine. More and more children respecting their parents and turning off texting and video games and turn to reading and volunteer work.
And a fair, honest election in Chicago, honestly counted and certified.
DREAM sung by the Pied Pipers and cover by Frank Sinatra and others.
Dream
When you’re feelin’ blue
Dream
That’s the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You’ll find your share of memories there
So dream
When the day is through
Dream
And they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
I’m for Chuy.
Uh........ add loud mouthed stupid and ugly to that
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Nope..He was once given the nod by the Daley machine some time ago.
