3:56Now PlayingWe get an update on a major victory for progressives in Chicago's mayoral race, where union organizer and former teacher Brandon Johnson narrowly defeated Paul Vallas in a runoff election Tuesday. Johnson called for community investment, while Vallas, who was backed by the police union, focused his campaign on crime. "Now comes the difficult part of governance," says _Democracy Now!_ co-host Juan González, who is in Chicago and notes Johnson faces a hostile police force and skepticism from the city's business community.
