“Multiple political storylines will converge in Illinois on Tuesday when the state holds primaries shaped by attempted comebacks, the retirement of longtime incumbents and the looming 2028 presidential campaign,” the AP reports.
“Topping the ballot is the race to succeed Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who is retiring after five terms. Among the Democrats running are U.S. Reps. Robin Kelly and Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, who has Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker’s endorsement. The Republican field includes former state Republican Party chair Don Tracy and attorney Jeannie Evans.”
“In the U.S. House primaries, Kelly’s and Krishnamoorthi’s Senate bids and the retirements of longtime Democratic U.S. Reps. Danny Davis and Jan Schakowsky have attracted crowded fields of candidates running to replace them.”
