President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are in the Chicago area this weekend to make their final push ahead of the 2022 Election Day.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was also in Chicago to attend a fundraiser in Oak Brook for Keith Pekau. Pekau is running against Democratic incumbent Congressman Sean Casten in the Illinois Sixth Congressional District."There's a lot of places I could be with four days before the election, but I'm here because this race matters. This race is a toss-up," McCarthy said.
At the other end of the same hall in the very same hotel, Casten defended his record alongside Senator Dick Durbin. Sunday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris will attend a rally on the South Side with Governor JB Pritzker and Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton. "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.
