The question now is whether in governing—or judging—Brandon Johnson and Janet Protasiewicz can satisfy their voters
Mr Johnson’s victory, by around three percentage points, was one of two striking wins for left-wingers on the western shore of Lake Michigan on April 4th. The other was in Wisconsin, where Janet Protasiewicz, a left-leaning Milwaukee circuit-court judge, won a vacant seat on the state’s Supreme Court by a margin of about ten points, defeating Daniel Kelly, a conservative former member of the body, and giving liberals a majority on the court in the state for the first time in 15 years.
Mr Johnson’s victory is the more surprising of the two. Few Chicago politicos expected the former public-school teacher and union organiser even to make it to the second round . In January Lori Lightfoot, Chicago’s outgoing mayor, mocked the teachers’ union, Mr Johnson’s primary patron, for pouring money into his campaign, saying: “God bless. Brandon Johnson isn’t going to be the mayor of this city.
