Democratic Senate Primary in Illinois
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon preview tomorrow’s Democratic Senate primary in Illinois, where abolishing ICE has emerged as a key talking point for all three leading candidates. They also take a look at Janet Mills, the 78-year-old governor of Maine who is running for the Democratic nomination for Senate. Then, they discuss President Donald Trump’s recent comments on America’s allies and their reluctance to send support units to open the Straits of Hormuz, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s statement this morning that the President may delay his scheduled end-of-the-month trip to China if the war is still going on.
