City Council narrowly passed a symbolic resolution on Wednesday calling for a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. Alderpeople tied 23-23 in a final vote on the measure, forcing Mayor Brandon Johnson to cast a deciding tiebreaker in support. The vote came after a tense debate that saw the mayor clear the council gallery after repeated interruptions from spectators.
