McCarthy actually has a better shot than I originally thought at making the run-off, mostly thanks to how pathetic every other candidate is.  In fact, I would say right now he’s the favorite for the second spot - very exciting!

I mean hey maybe Chance the mayor will be better at being in government than he was in the music industry. Could be!

That's a high bar to clear

McCarthy offers support for the #NoCopAcademy movement, what a weird city we live in

People's Pat Quinn has filed petition signatures to force a binding referendum on mayoral term limits in Chicago on the November ballot.

It will no doubt face a myriad of legal challenges as the mayor and his allies attempt to save their careers.

I'm not usually big on term limits because I think that if a population wants to keep their rep, they should be able to. In this case, however, I will be a strong YES. Our politicians here are too good at playing the game and it works to our city's detriment.

There’s a strong argument for executive term limits

I'd like to see Michelle Obama run, but that doesn't seem likely.

Preckwinkle has launched an exploratory committee

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-mayors-race-toni-preckiwnkle/

I'd be all over this. She'd be a great mayor.

Quigley is considering a run

Orr will not run

McCarthy is still leading in polls, there was a poll just released today that showed him leading (look it up).

He has been endorsed by Rudy Giuliani (Due to his 911 service).

He will continue to be the frontrunner if Preckwinkle doesn't run.

Extremely impressive to post three sentences and have two of them be flat-out wrong.

Raba Research (MoE ±4)
Gutiérrez: 21%
McCarthy: 18%
Preckwinkle: 16%
Lightfoot: 10%
Vallas: 10%
Summers: 4%

Extremely doubtful, especially since she's down back as CTU head.

Gutierrez is out and has endorsed Chuy. Chuy is not yet officially in, but he met with Gutierrez and Munoz last week, so draw your own conclusions.

So he's running for Congress, but also running for Mayor?

Yes, as Harold Washington did in '82. Not without precedent — especially likely as Chuy can now present it as being drafted to run for Mayor, rather than doing so out of ambition.

How do we see a McCarthy versus Chuy runoff playing out?

Chuy wins big. I really fail to see where McGarthy's base is outside of Mt Greenwood and the far northwest side.

He's a lock to make the runoff, I'd think — he'll get the lion's share of the money. Winning a runoff is more difficult, but still more likely than not at this point.
