Axelrod: Is Chicago’s Progressive Mayor Victory a Sign for Dems Nationally? | Amanpour and Company

Описание: In a noteworthy week for the Windy City, President Biden and his party have picked Chicago to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. The city also has elected a new mayor. Brandon Johnson, a progressive former teacher, campaigned against racial and economic disparities, winning by a margin of fewer than 20,000 votes. He inherits a city struggling with soaring crime rates. David Axelrod is a former adviser to President Barack Obama, founder of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, and host of The Axe Files podcast on CNN. Axelrod speaks with Michel Martin about Johnson’s victory and the many challenges ahead.
