For those interested, Chicago just witnessed the narrowest budget vote in the City Council since the 80s — Lightfoot's budget only passed 29-21, with six aldermen dissenting from the left and 15 from the right. One DSA-affiliated council member and another generally associated with the city's left voted for the budget; if they and a couple other conservatives voted against, the budget fails.

Lightfoot will be a one term mayor.

Who do you think will run against her on the left and the right?

Lightfoot is gonna lose the cop wards by Stalin-esque margins next time around, whereas she won them by the same in 2019 runoff.  Thats not enough votes to flip an election, but when you consider that, as stated above, she has no natural base she can’t afford to be pissing everyone off.  And thats what she’s managed to do.  Piss off every single person in this city, left and right, each in their own unique way.  Yes, with that said she will be fine with the Lakeview liberal meme crowd who loves her STAY HOME crap since they’re the only people in the city benefitting from it.

Democrats should recruit one of the Obama's to run against Lightfoot in 2023.

Why would any of them run?
