What started as a dispute over Chicago’s handling of the migrant crisis is escalating into a major rift in the Democratic party and accusations from Black voters that the party is leaving them behind. 

“Any Republican candidate in the city of Chicago, now is your time. Because we are done with the Democratic party,” one Black resident says in a video circulating on social media. “Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker and President Biden have shown us what they think about the Black community all over this country,” she says.
