Enten: Illinois’ main turnout reveals how huge Dem’s 2026 edge is

Raja Krishnamoorthi, in addition to Rep. Robin Kelly. Stratton’s win, fueled by an enormous margin in Chicago and bolstered by stronger-than-expected leads to its suburbs, got here in a main election that featured an open Senate seat and 4 House vacancies.
