Mayor Lightfoot backtracks after telling people who support her rivals, 'Don't vote'
Briefly

Mayor Lori Lightfoot urged Black residents to support her campaign for reelection or risk losing the seat and told people who don't support her not to vote in a vivid display of the city's racial politics during appearances Saturday on the South and West sides.After a swift social media backlash, Lightfoot's campaign released a statement Saturday evening declaring that she "urges every Chicagoan to exercise their rights and get out to vote," a reversal from her prior statement.
