Illinois Republican party chair resigns, blames party infighting - local media
WASHINGTON - Illinois Republican party chairman Don Tracy resigned on Wednesday, less than a month before next month's Republican National Convention in neighboring Wisconsin, citing infighting with the party, according to local media reports.
"In better days, Illinois Republicans came together after tough intra party elections. Now however, we have Republicans who would rather fight other Republicans than engage in the harder work of defeating incumbent Democrats by convincing swing voters to vote Republican," he said. The Republican party will hold its national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15 to 18. During the convention, former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to be nominated as the party's nominee for the Nov. 5 general election.Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors.
