"Chicago's Mayoral Runoff Election: Uniting Democrats and Record Voter Turnout"

The Chicago mayoral runoff election on Tuesday features two Democratic candidates with opposing views on education and crime. Paul Vallas, a former CEO of the Chicago school system, has focused on crime, while Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, a former teacher, has focused on education. Vallas has received support from high-profile Illinois Democrats and Republican donor Kenneth Griffin, while Johnson has received support from national Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The race is too close to call, with recent polls showing a dead heat. The biggest issues are local issues, not broader cultural war issues.
