Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review: 3/23
Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review: 3/23-December 2024
Dec 20, 2025 10:19 AM

On this edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review with Joel Weisman, low voter turnout for an Illinois primary delivers high impact. Mitt Romney triumphs over Rick Santorum; Jesse Jackson, Jr. steamrolls Debbie Halvorson; Tammy Duckworth defeats Raja Krishnamoorthi; and Adam Kinzinger bests Donald Manzullo. Michael Hogan resigns as president of the University of Illinois. Gov. Pat Quinn and Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s wife, Amy Rule, lead a delegation to Brussels to pitch Chicago to NATO officials. A shakeup at Oak Brook-based McDonald’s as CEO Jim Skinner resigns, setting the stage for the company’s first African-American CEO, Dan Thompson. And in sports, the Blackhawks win 9 of their last 11 to stay in the playoff hunt.

Guests:

- John McCarron, Chicago Tribune

- Mary Ann Ahern, NBC-5 News
