CHICAGO — Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas escalated their attacks on one another as Chicago’s mayoral race entered the final week of campaigning before the April 4 election.
Monday morning, Vallas held a rally with trade unions supporting his campaign where he denounced an effort to place lawn signs around the city linking him to former President Donald Trump.
“The interesting thing is they are showing up on the South and West Side,” Vallas said, in response to a question about “Vallas for Mayor” signs with a “MAGA 2024″ logo that have sprung up largely in the city’s Black neighborhoods. “So we all know who’s putting them up. We know that. We know that. In fact, we’ve got some videos of people putting them up.”
