On Nov. 5, 2024, voters will choose not just their next president and vice president, but representatives in Congress, a new Cook County State's Attorney, and the very first elected Chicago school board.
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 10:52PMA divided America weighed a stark choice for the nation's future Tuesday as a presidential campaign marked by upheaval and rancor approached its finale.On Nov. 5, 2024, Illinois voters will choose not just their next president and vice president, but representatives in Congress, a new Cook County State's Attorney, and the very first elected Chicago school board.
The race for the White House still very tight, with the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll out Sunday showing Kamala Harris slightly ahead nationally but Donald Trump ahead in some key swing states, and the two candidates deadlocked in Pennsylvania.Neighboring Michigan and Wisconsin are considered crucial swing states for both parties.
Senate control also is up for grabs Tuesday. And although Republicans are well positioned to win the majority, Democrats cannot be counted out entirely, because their well-funded candidates have consistently overperformed the top of the ticket in polling of many of the most important races. Even as the Senate map has become more daunting for Democrats with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin retiring, opportunities to mitigate GOP gains have opened up in Texas and, increasingly, Nebraska.
With Manchin almost certain to be succeeded by a Republican, the GOP needs to either pick up one more Senate seat or win the White House to flip the chamber. That math puts the pressure on Democrats to hold all their competitive seats while trying to knock off Republicans in Texas and Florida.Perhaps the closest-watched local 2024 race is for Cook County State's Attorney.
