She got 17% of the vote.
Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson have advanced to a runoff.
Chicago voters overwhelming rejected Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s agenda for the Windy City by ousting her in Tuesday night’s mayoral election, with many critics citing crime as a key sticking point to her departure.
Resident Diana Dejacimo was robbed at gunpoint back in December, and she said after the horrifying ordeal she experienced, she did not know one single person who voted for Lightfoot as violence continues to unravel in city streets.
“I believe that people have just had enough,” Dejacimo said during “Fox & Friends First” on Wednesday. “My message has been go out and change. Regime change is the only way we’re going to fix this, and I think this was a loud and clear message that this woke agenda is not working for Chicago.
During Lightfoot’s tenure, murders spiked to the highest levels in 25 years, surpassing other urban cities like Los Angeles and New York City.
And while the city has battled the historic surge in violence, the police department also faced unprecedented staffing shortages.
The crime surge was a notable voting motivator for Dejacimo specifically, who endured a “terrifying” robbery, all caught on surveillance video in broad daylight in the ritzy neighborhood of Lincoln Park.
who cares? so they are going to replace one leftist asshat with another leftist asshat.
A dem will still get in… last republican city mayor was 1931. Chicago is a shithole, plain and simple… and it got that way through leftist policy.
I hear that Kevin Hart is looking for a stunt double for his new movie, perfect timing.
Eric Adams is a perfect example of going from bad to worse when it comes to garbage dump blue cities.
What’s she going to do now? She isn’t qualified for any “real” job. CNN gig? Too ugly. Leftist think tank? College perfesser?
Maybe they’ll get a little lucky this time and elect someone that will accomplish at least a little something other than just sit in the office collecting a salary, bribes and kickbacks.
One eye looking at past and one eye looking at the future.
The fact that he/she got 17% says Chincongo is really in bad shape. Hopeless. Be sure to thank the MSM and the teacher’s unions.
Will this summer’s NASCAR street races in Chitcago still be shot up as planned, though?
FOOT GETS BOOT.

…Biden spokeshole, Secretary of Transportation, Chairlesbian of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Supreme Court Justice, even President using the current standards.
…but if she wants to return to civilian life, Woke Victoria’s Secret model is in her reach.
I leave you with that mental image.
Sorry…
i’m shocked, the sinaloa cartel doesn’t own chicago yet?
mayor beetlejuice will be awarded a gov golden parachute pension and a spot on some board of directors of an anti-american foundation for bringing chicago down to an urban jungle full of feral animals
that fish-eyed fool’s laughing all the way to the bank
What’s she going to do now?
Maybe she’ll return to the Amazon lagoon they pulled her out of to be re-united with her beloved Gillman…
Lori garnered 17.1% of the votes that’s probably 99.9% teachers and civil servants.
And yet, ‘It’ blamed racism instead of being a butt ugly African for ‘Its’ loss!
Well, at least Mayor Lizardface’s reign of terror is over. Too bad she won’t be rotting in prison for all the corruption, crime and economic collapse she caused. A new mayor won’t save Chicago. It’s a leftist wasteland.
Ding dong, Gollum’s dead, she lost her precious. Hopefully Chicago will not replace her with another leftist who will be a worse mayor than she was.
…quick question…
are we SURE she wasn’t CGI the WHOLE TIME?
…I mean, Gollum had NOTHING on her, and for a person to actually LOOK like that really seems to be stretching it, and you KNOW how Hollywood would be HAPPY to have characters they made up running everything…
I live in Chicago. Have all my life. There is very little to call a Republican party here. They don’t even try.
I voted for Paul Vallas who put forth a law and order platform and supports the police. He even made noise a while back about becoming a Republican but stuck with the Dems to even have a chance. The other guy in the runoff, Brendan Johnson, is supported by the teachers’ union and may be even further left than Mayor Groot.
Chicago is teeming with idiots. Most have been poisoned by lead contaminated water, so they are crazy and stupid. The rest of Illinois would like to separate from Cook County, but that probably will never happen.

So Brendan Johnson would be a safe bet?

She should get a job at a pet store, taking care of aquariums…
“‘You will not be defined by how you fall. You will be defined by how hard you work and how much you do for other people,’ she said.”
Are you effing kidding me? Who here would think to say that after all of the criticism and knowing your city went to hell under your watch?? Absolute moron and too damn stupid to realize it.

She’ll have to go back to her old job of portraying Admiral Ackbar in the Star Wars films.
I’m guessing the amount of votes to get to 17% was the limit they could cheat.
I’m thinking the ‘law and order’ candidate just m a y b e have a chance:
Vallas (law and order) received 34.9 percent of the vote, while Johnson (same or maybe worse) received 20.2 percent.
Should fit right in as the new nuk waist director.
Goodbye Gollum, your precious has been taken away…
She’s already scored an endorsement deal with Snap-On Tools
