Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared to blame Trump voters in
his reaction to a failed referendum he supported.
On Tuesday, Chicago residents struck down the "Bring Chicago Home"
referendum that promised $100 million in new tax revenue to combat the
homeless crisis in the city by hiking the tax on heftier real estate
purchases. Voters rejected the tax proposal by over a 7-point margin, representing a difference of more than 22,000 voters, according to the
latest votes counted.
During Wednesday's post-election press conference, Johnson cited the
"38,000" Chicago residents who had voted for former President Trump,
saying there's a "good chance" they were behind the referendum's failure.
