YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

TYT Contributor David Sirota discusses the primary race between two billionaires—and a progressive underdog—that's unfolding in Illinois. J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire businessman, is vying for the Democratic nomination, and has already spent $63.2 million of his own money on his primary campaign. The incumbent, Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, has spent $57.2 million on his own re-election campaign thus far. While Rauner is faring poorly in the polls, Pritzker is only 10 points ahead of his progressive challenger, Illinois State Senator Daniel Biss, whose campaign has raised a comparatively measly $5 million to date.
