Brandon Johnson's Early Prediction of His Own Political Ascension

Brandon Johnson, who will be sworn in as Chicago's 57th mayor on Monday, had foreshadowed his own rise to power more than a decade ago during a panel discussion on progressive politics. Johnson, who was then representing the Chicago Teachers Union, spoke about the need to focus on policies rather than politicians and how the decision to close 50 Chicago Public Schools became a personal issue for him. A decade later, he was elected mayor.
