Pritzker is indeed running a low energy campaign that only appeals to democratic-inclined voters, but he is a sure in to win. It’s looking relatively bad downballot with Democrats slimming their majority in the legislature.
I sense a lack of enthusiasm for downballot Democrats thanks to anger over crime and the SAFE T act. Pritzker isn’t talking about anything but abortion. Bailey is too toxic to win, but what are your thoughts on the IL supreme court races and SoS.
The Supreme Court races will go in a disappointing direction for Democrats. SoS is safe Dem though.
Admittedly crime is a factor and it isn’t helping in the suburbs, but a lot of it seems to rest on hatred and dissatisfaction from Democrats nationally. Not helping that Pritzker himself is campaigning like Hillary Clinton, so who knows what sort of losses will be done in depressing turnout and even flipping many Hispanic and Black voters.
Do you think Rs flip the Illinois Supreme Court? I kinda assumed post Roe Dems should be favored in that Biden + 14 suburban seat but idk.
Since Roe, no—but they will make gains.
Democrats gain the 2nd, but lose the 3rd?
Dems ended up expanding their majority on the supreme court. Held the 3rd and flipped the 2nd.
Also....
As to be expected, Khagan Pritzker is, once again, triumphant over his foes! I am eagerly awaiting mobilization orders...
Pritzker's behind-the-scenes team is a bunch of memesters.
