Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose outsider status and promises to enact sweeping reforms propelled her to office four years ago, is seeking a second term amid a large field of challengers. Ms. Lightfoot, a Democrat who won all 50 wards in the 2019 runoff, saw her popularity plunge as homicides reached generational highs and as Chicago struggled to rebound from the pandemic.
Her opponents include Representative Jesús G. García, a progressive Democrat whose congressional district includes part of Chicago; Brandon Johnson, a Democratic county commissioner endorsed by the city’s powerful teachers’ union; and Paul Vallas, a Democrat and former public school executive with more conservative views on policing and education.
If no candidate wins an outright majority, the top two finishers will advance to an April runoff.

Most dates on his world tour have been canceled.
The tour was previously postponed five times, most recently on October 6. The singer accredited the previous postponement to his battle with Ramsey Hunt disorder, which left him with significant facial paralysis. “I need to make my health the priority right now,” he said when he announced the initial postponement on an Instagram story, according to Deadline. Now, the Utilita Arena in Sheffield has officially announced that their date of the tour has been canceled. Additionally, fans with tickets for other dates are getting messages from ticket-sale venues that their dates are officially canceled, rather than postponed, according to the L.A. Times. Ticketmaster still lists Bieber’s dates in Paris on March 6 and 7 as happening, and two American dates as “postponed,” but the website lists all other dates as canceled as well.

“We understand the intense interest in John’s status and especially appreciate the flood of well-wishes,” Fetterman communications director Joe Calvello said. “However, as we have said this will be a weeks-long process and while we will be sure to keep folks updated as it progresses, this is all there is to give by way of an update.”
