In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons - Who Won What? Breaking Down Illinois’ Primary Results
After months of campaigning – and millions and millions of dollars spent from outside interests like AIPAC and cryptocurrency – several hotly-contested races for the U.S. Senate, governor and the U.S. House came to a close on Illinois’ Primary Day.
We’ll dig into everything you need to know with a panel of political experts: who won, who came up short, and how the results could shape up the general midterm election in the fall.
Our panel to help us break it all down: WBEZ’s Clare Lane, Mariah Woelfel and Mawa Iqbal; Jaime Dominguez, professor at Northwestern University; Connie Mixon, professor of political science at Elmhurst University; and Jim Durkin, former Minority Leader, Illinois House of Representatives.
We’ll also hear from candidates themselves, including:
Daniel Biss, mayor of Evanston, Democratic nominee for Illinois’ 9th Congressional District
Don Tracy, Illinois Senate Republican nominee
Darren Bailey, Illinois Governor Republican nominee
Juliana Stratton, Lt. Governor of Illinois, and Senate Democratic nominee

The Bulwark Podcast - Ro Khanna: Trump Is in Denial
POTUS is pretending the laws of supply and demand don't apply when it comes to the price of oil. And his long list of conflicting statements on the Strait of Hormuz is not providing any clarity on whether it will reopen to Western vessels anytime soon. But while Rep. Khanna successfully helped create the Epstein coalition, he says most of his Republican colleagues on the Hill are sticking with Trump's war narrative—though with a little less chest thumping. Plus, progressive Squad candidates came up short in Illinois, Joe Kent reportedly gave his resignation letter to Vance before Trump, conflating critiques of Israel with antisemitism is likely going to backfire politically, and why are three million Epstein files still being protected?
Rep. Ro Khanna joins Tim Miller.
