Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her reelection bid in humiliating fashion on Tuesday, obtaining only 17.1% of the vote and finishing in third place. She is the first incumbent Chicago mayor to lose reelection in 40 years, as many voters blamed her for the city’s surge in violence. Many questioned her gravitas and overall effectiveness as mayor, especially when she posted dancing videos on TikTok. She seemingly did nothing to address the city’s record-breaking homicides and other violent crimes.
