“Johnson punched his ticket to the runoff by winning nine progressive wards on the North and Northwest Sides and along the lakefront: the 1st, 26th, 33rd, 35th, 40th, 46th, 47th, 48th and 49th.”

This is the insanity that defines Chicago. Rich, white progressives voting for their own destruction.

surprise, surprise. Another article confirming Johnson/CTU got beat in the Black community. Or in other words, the Johnson/CTU campaigns primary base is in white hipster upper-income areas and not in black & brown communities…. did Brandon even win in west side precinct where he lives?
