On Saturday, Trump comes to Illinois for a campaign stop to support U.S. Rep. Mary Miller. Governor candidate Darren Bailey is actively courted his backing.
President Donald Trump four years ago hosted a late campaign rally in southern Illinois to endorse a Republican congressman. Sitting on bleachers behind the stage was Illinois’ then-governor, hoping to get a mention to boost his reelection bid and shore up support from the conservative GOP base.
“He seems to be formidable and could maybe give it a good shot because you know it’s a little bit hard to win up there for a Republican in that way. So we’ll see what happens. But I think Bailey maybe,” Trump said. He’s also been the most demonstrably outspoken critic of Pritzker, starting with lawsuits — ultimately unsuccessful — that sought to block the Democratic governor’s pandemic mitigation orders while promoting an evangelical rural populist candidacy that decries the cultural policies of urban Chicago.
Miller, 62, who was born and raised in suburban Naperville, has aligned herself with the far-right extremes of the national GOP.
