Mayor Lori Lightfoot doesn't even make it past the first round of voting in Chicago.

A St. Louis man shoots a homeless man point blank on the street, and we examine the reasons why.

And the Supreme Court considers striking down Joe Biden's student loan bailout as Democrats whine.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Spiro Show.

Well, Lori Lightfoot, the smegle of American politics, a person who began as sort of a semi-charming

hobbit and then ended up being really just a quite terrible person who helped wreck Chicago's

politics even further.

She has now failed in her re-elect bed, the first mayor, to fail in a re-elect bid in Chicago in 40 years

because Chicago is a one-party town. Chicago is a place where when the party appoints someone the head of

the party, that person stays there for literally ever. The daily family ran that city for decades

because of this. Lori Lightfoot did not last two terms because she was that bad a mayor.

According to the Wall Street Journal,

Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her reelect bid by failing to garner enough votes to make even a runoff

election. She wasn't even one in the top two. She was like number three in this election,

which is pretty shocking. The top two, by the way, included a person who last time he ran for mayor

actually was endorsed by the Chicago Republican Party, all seven of them. This is a stunning fall for a candidate who had won all 50 of the city's wards four years ago, but had sparred with powerful teachers unions and been under fire for her response to rising a crime. The Associated Press declared Tuesday night that Paul Valles, a more moderate Democrat who had won the support of the city's police union. Ah, there you are. And Brandon Johnson, a liberal teacher's union organizer, secured the top two spots in April's runoff election. Valis, you know, again, the guy who won the most votes, is actually police friendly. He's a little bit more investor friendly. He's somebody who's not nearly as radical as Lori Lightfoot. Lightfoot ran in third place. It was the first time in 40 years The city did not elect a sitting at mayor Who sought re-election

She told supporters on two Lori Lightfoot. Lightfoot ran in third place. It was the first time in 40 years. The city did not

elect a sitting at mayor who sought re-election. She told supporters on Tuesday that she had called

Ballison Johnson to congratulate them and that she appreciated the love that her supporters

had shown her during the campaign. Unfortunately, there were only seven of them. So she actually

didn't, she actually could hug them personally, which I guess was very exciting for

Lori Lightfoot.
