Eight states will hold primary and runoff elections Tuesday, which will be the first electoral reactions since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last Friday.
"It was very ill-advised for anyone to go into the Capitol," Hanks said at the primary debate."I wouldn't go up the stairs to the steps."
Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin was seen as a formidable general election candidate against incumbent Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker when he jumped into the race. The mayor of the state's second-most populated city, Aurora, Illinois, he is a notable Black Republican in the state and was bankrolled with over $50 million from GOP megadonor Ken Griffin.
"I've made a promise to President Trump that in 2024, Illinois will roll the red carpet out for him because Illinois will be ready for President Trump," Bailey said at the rally. On Sunday, Davis' campaign said the gaffe is"just another part in a disturbing pattern of behavior she's displayed since coming to Congress." His campaign had previously highlighted Miller's speech in January 2021 where she praised Adolf Hitler when talking about education.
Another primary to watch in Illinois is the Democratic primary in the 6th District between Reps. Sean Casten and Marie Newman. The two have only represented a portion of the newly drawn 6th District, which leans Democratic by about eight points according to Dave's Redistricting App. Meanwhile, President Biden has also waded into this race in the 11th hour, endorsing Davis over the weekend. This is his second notable House endorsement during a primary, his first one for Rep. Kurt Schrader in Oregon's 5th District proved unsuccessful as Schrader lost to progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner.
He had attacked other candidates at a Newsmax debate for being"never-Trumpers" but said he's his"own man" when asked where he falls on the political spectrum between former Vice President Mike Pence, who has backed Zeldin, and Trump, who has not endorsed anyone. All candidates have made crime in New York City, inflation and political corruption staples of their argument to be the first Republican governor of the Empire State since George Pataki in 2006.
Hochul's pitch to voters has focused on her tenure as governor thus far, as well as on her support for gun control reform in the wake of the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, her hometown. Archila has been backed by Delgado's former colleague in the House, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and is Williams' running mate. Ocasio-Cortez invited Archila as her state of the union guest in 2019 after Archila went viral for confronting then-Arizona Senator Jeff Flake during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh.
Boebert has remained the top fundraiser in the race with over $5 million raised and more than $2 million cash on hand. Kulmann is the lead fundraiser of the group, though Saine has taken notable stances on abortion and is the only candidate of the four that has not said if she believes Biden's election win in 2020 was legitimate.
