Paul Vallas lost the mayoral race to Brandon Johnson last year. He served as the superintendent of the Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut and the Recovery School District of Louisiana, the CEO of both the School District of Philadelphia and the Chicago Public Schools, and a budget director for the city of Chicago.
Pritzker is in his 5th year of governorship.

I think that @Mik is correct. Gov. Pritzker was probably happy in one way that VP Harris lost. I would suspect that he will start to move to the "center" over the next couple of years. The pendulum for the Democrats went too far to the left and they are seeing the results of that.

Chinatown in Chicago was historical as people from Hong Kong and the areas close to it. Cantonese was the most common language spoken there.
That has changed a bit in recent years, but I dont think that just because more people in Chinatown are from "mainland" China does not mean that they are pro-China. There are quite a few that left because of the government.
As to immigration, I would guess that at least 60% (or more) of the service workers in Chinatown at the restaurants, shops, etc. are illegal. But, I guess they dont vote. LOL

Politicians take too many things for granted.
"Illinois will always be Democrat"
"Texas will always be Republic"
etcBeing complacent will cause failure.

20 years is not "always," but it's close enough for government work.
"Texas will always be Republic"

Speaking of Illinois...
Remember when the federal government threatened to withhold funds if the states didn't implement a 55mph speed limit on the interstates?
I can see the incoming administration doing a similar thing with other policies - immigration, transgender stuff, etc.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

There's the cosplay LD was referring to. At this time, mere fantasies of cosplay, but let's see where it goes.

I can't see Pritzker getting very far. He's just not that cuddly, engaging or smart. His policies are too conventionally Democratic.

A comment on X:
"Conspiracy to violate immigration laws—particularly 8 USC §1324, harboring illegal aliens--is a Federal felony good for 10 years.
I hope AG Gaetz is taking notes on these public confessions."
Isn’t that a literal and actual insurrection?
