YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has won reelection in a hardfought runoff against challenger Jesús "Chuy" García. Emanuel defeated García with a margin of around 55 percent to García's 44 percent. Emanuel raised $23 million for the campaign, more than three times García's $6 million. García, the son of Mexican immigrants, shocked the nation’s political establishment by forcing Emanuel into the runoff earlier this year. Emanuel faced public dissatisfaction over his closing of 50 schools in mostly AfricanAmerican neighborhoods, his handling of a 2012 teachers’ strike, and the city’s high murder rate and levels of gun violence. We are joined from Chicago by Rick Perlstein, a reporter and author who has been covering the city elections for In These Times.
