Episode: Lori Lightfoot's Loss: Just A Local Election Or A Warning To Other Big City Liberals?
Description: Project 21's David Lowery, who lives and works in Chicago, reacts to the primary election results that mean Lori Lightfoot's tenure as Mayor will soon be over. Lightfoot was elected four years ago with around 70% of the vote. In this year's primary, she received about 16%.
Lowery compares her national profile - one hailed as a leader by the Left - and what he sees as the real effect of her policies on Chicagoans, particularly black and hispanic residents.
