In 2020 Biden got 74% of the vote in Chicago.

  I would guess that Biden got a lot of votes from independents and even republicans who were tired of the previous president's shenanigans.

    The overall vote was very close in both 2016 and 2020

    Chicago (Cook County) went 83% for Clinton in 2016, 74% for Obama in 2012, 76% for Obama in 2008, 79% for Kerry in 2004 and 68% for Gore in 2000. Biden's 2020 numbers were on the low side of average for a Democrat candidate there, probably didn't involve an unusual number of independents or disaffected Republicans...

      St. Louis City went 82.71% for Obama for context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_presidential_election_in_Missouri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_presidentia... so higher than cook... but the city of stl is generally even more blue and was one of the highest rates for obama nation wide. STL took it as a point of pride to vote more for obama than chicago where obmama is from.
