Clay Travis, another idiot who didn't pay attention to the results. You could also spin the results to say that Lori Lightfoot was in the top three.

Paul Vallas, 33.7%; 66.3% voted against him.

Brandon Johnson, 23.3%; 76.7% voted against him.

Lori Lightfoot, 17.1%; 83.9% voted against her.

Other candidates, 28.9%.

And the overwhelming majority of voters in Chicago did not cast a vote for Lightfoot. A stunning defeat for an incumbent mayor.

She's appallingly incompetent, simple at that. The rise in crime and homicides is truly terrifying for the good citizens of Chicago yet she, at one stage, wanted to defund the police.

Crime-Ridden Chicago Term-Limits Failed Mayor Lori Lightfoot With Landslide Loss

A Democratic mayor in a big, blue city with escalating crime, civil dysfunction, and a crumbling economy lost an election Tuesday night. Can you guess what her excuse for defeat was?

I’m sure you can guess. It was racism and sexism that brought down Chicago’s black, lesbian mayor—who won her initial election with more than 70% of the vote in 2019.

At least, that’s according to soon-to-be-former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

“I’m a black woman and, let’s not forget, some folks frankly don’t support us in leadership roles,” Lightfoot said in a recent New Yorker interview.

Lightfoot’s loss wasn’t a squeaker. She took just 16.4% of the vote. In fairness, it was a crowded field of candidates, but that typically isn’t a huge hurdle for an incumbent mayor in a city almost entirely controlled by Democrats.

Chicago isn’t exactly MAGA country, unless you believe a certain disgraced former actor.

Particularly embarrassing for Lightfoot is that she came in a distant third in the nine-candidate field. Paul Vallas, a former schools CEO backed by the police union, and Brandon Johnson, a Cook County commissioner endorsed by the Chicago Teachers Union, will face off in the April 4 runoff election, since neither reached the required 50%-plus of the vote.

Unsurprisingly, the focus of the election was rising crime, which has gone from bad to intolerable in large swaths of the city. More on that later.

We’re supposed to think that after Lightfoot’s overwhelming win in 2019, Chicago voters suddenly decided they couldn’t stand having a black woman as a mayor. Sure.

But Lightfoot didn’t actually seem to have much of a problem with racism.

In 2021, she announced that she wouldn’t do one-on-one interviews with white reporters.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot said in a letter to City Hall reporters. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly white in a city where more than half of the city identifies as black, Latino, [Asian American/Pacific Islanders] or Native American.”

Not only was this policy bigoted in the name of wokeness, it was almost certainly illegal. She backed off the policy after being sued, but was generally unrepentant.

“I’m unapologetic about it because it spurred a very important conversation, a conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago,” she said.

Lightfoot is someone who has climbed her way to the top in large part by leaning into her identity. Her grousing about voters being prejudiced against her is really a cope for the fact that her identity couldn’t save her from her own failures, incompetence, and imperious rule.

Lightfoot was one of the mayors who demanded her city defund the police in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020. After riots rocked her city and violent crime shot through the roof, she begged the federal government to come in and help fix the problem.
