The reason why it's safe D, because IL came from a billionaire Rauner and Trump were polarizing

Schaumburg businessman Gary Rabine running in GOP primary.  He’s a Trump supporter who supported Ives in 2018.

Likely D. Most Illinois politicians are corrupt, Barack Obama was a different breed.

Anything can happen to Pritzker. Anything.

Lt. Gov. Stratton is governor in waiting......

The ILGOP needs to nominate someone who can hold and inspire the downstate conservative/moderate base and also appeal to suburbanites (DuPage)......

J.B Pritzker hints that he may not seek a second term.

Quote
Governor JB Pritzker hinted Thursday that he may not run for a second term, breaking the news even as Illinois is poised to come out of the pandemic and make his job a bit easier starting next week.

We should probably check house listings in Chicago to find out if the Obama's are buying any property there.

Barack or Michelle running would clear the field, and would probably be the only reason Pritzker retires IMO.

Honestly, Illinois is just such a hard state to govern. He's already a multibillionaire so he can live comfortably for the rest of his life if he doesn't run for reelection.

If Pritzker doesn't run Obams will get the female Lt Gov to run no one else is listed on politics 1.com as possible candidates for D, IL may have it's first Blk female Gov

Should Pritzker serve 2 terms, she is 2026 Gov Nomination anyways

That's a shocker, though we have to see whether he follows through or runs again. If not, I can't see any of the Obamas entering the race. Juliana Stratton would very likely get the nomination then and win the election. If Pritzker is out, Illinois could become the first state to elect an African American woman to be governor.

So Blago's on Cameo, and someone at my university hired him to do a message for the graduating Class of 2021. It's something:

Would Blago attempt to run in the Republican primaries? Because if so, I expect a lot of Republican voters to not show up on Election Day if he wins.

No, I don't think he'll run for office again. And he supported Trump after his sentence got commuted but I think he still calls himself a Democrat.

With polarization, this is safe D.

I really hope Stratton runs instead of Pritzker and James instead of Cuomo. Three Black woman governors running big states (cuz I do believe Stacey Abrams will win) would be really inspiring and I'm not even an idpol person.

He's done a decent job, I don't see why he would throw in the towel, unless he skeletons that are about to come out.

If Pritzker doesn't run Chris Kennedy can certainly run again or the Lt Gov it's safe D, it's not like MI or PA where Rs have dominance in the state Legislature

The Obamas never gave up their home in Chicago. It's still there, it's still theirs, and it's still protected by Secret Service

I doubt Pritzker will follow through on retiring (he’s already put millions in a campaign fund), but even if he does Stratton or whoever would be considerably favored.
