Joliet was the latest stop as President Joe Biden continues his final push for Illinois candidates ahead of Tuesday's election.
The president's Saturday appearance follows a Friday night fundraiser for the Democrats he headlined in the western suburbs.

"The White House wants to pitch in areas where they do have a positive impact and I do think the sixth is one of those areas, because every seat's going to matter," said Alvin Tillery, political science professor at Northwestern University.
