Rauner in Champaign El
Yes, it's not really a surprise that Governor Bruce Rauner won the primary, given that challenger Jeanne Ives was considered to be too far to the right for even Illinois GOP voters, let alone for the general election, and had little campaign cash, besides. Newman is challenging seven-term Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski.
As part of the Democratic campaign he is running on, Pritzker remained vocal about advocating for marginalized communities.
Democrat J.B Pritzker will oppose Rauner in the governor's race. He dumped $50 million into his primary campaign; Pritzker, nearly $70 million.
Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D) speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington.
A conservative political action committee that once backed Rauner is now supporting challengers to GOP House members who helped Democrats approve an income tax hike to end a state budget stalemate a year ago.
A masked bandit thanks Rauner "for making IL a sanctuary state" and a man dressed as a transgender thanks him "for letting me use the girl's room" - a reference to another measure Rauner signed permitting transgender Illinoisans to change their gender on their birth certificates. He seems an unlikely candidate to survive another primary cycle, but progressive activists were still bitterly disappointed by this result after polls showed a toss-up. Raoul vowed to be a strong advocate for consumer and environmental rights and join other states attorneys general in combating the Trump administration.
Rauner needs to work some kind of miracle to get enough conservatives back on board to get re-elected.
Oh sure. What's the first thing you're going to do, Mr. Rauner, fire your wife, Diana?

Luke List Putts With Wedge In Match Against Justin Thomas
Thomas, however, blasted his tee shot into the greenside bunker on 18, knocked it close from the sand and made birdie to win 2 up. List says he damaged the putter after swinging at a bush and not realizing a brick wall was behind the bush.
During his campaign Pritzker spent tens of millions of dollars on TV ads that covered the state and his money fuelled a get out the vote campaign. This is an important time for IL, and the only way for the average citizen to be part of the process is to wield the power of the vote.
Ives zeroed in on those issues in her first televised campaign ad in early February, a minute-long spot featuring a man in a woman's dress thanking Rauner for "letting me use the girls' bathroom". The Democratic front-runner has been advertising on television from almost the moment he announced his candidacy 11 months ago. In response, Biss has called him a "fraud" while Kennedy labeled him a "liar". The ads included a 30-minute infomercial-style ad with the full Federal Bureau of Investigation recordings. Schakowsky and Gutierrez in supporting Newman for Congress. Lipinski took in the support of the Illinois AFL-CIO, Illinois AFSCME, dozens of local mayors, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times.
"If he is elected, he will give total control of our state over to the machine".
Pritzker has apologized for his remarks on the recording.
Although Biss has built his campaign around claiming to be the "middle-class candidate", he has faced criticism as the architect of a plan to cut the roughly $100 billion gap in pension funding for the cash-strapped state by reducing some of the promised retirement benefits.
But his opponent says it is time for a change.
Democrats turned out for Illinois' primary in higher numbers than the left-leaning state has seen for a midterm election in more than a decade, deciding several hotly contested races and signaling the November election could be even tougher-than-usual for the GOP. And the strong showing for Ives, Rauner's Trumpist challenger, should terrify moderate Republicans interested in ever winning a statewide race in IL again, as well as Democrats who are confident that the chaos of the Trump era will witness the final vanquishing of fact-averse white nationalism.
Rauner rolled to victory in 2014 with a promise to "shake up" Springfield with a pro-business, anti-union agenda including lower property taxes and term limits on officeholders. IL is heavily in debt, both in terms of its regular budget and its $130 billion in pension debt.
