The first defeat of the night came after incumbent Democrat Rep. Marie Newman, who currently represents Illinois' Third Congressional District, lost her primary bid to represent the state's newly redrawn Sixth Congressional District against incumbent Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill.

Newman, considered a progressive Democrat in the House, was first elected in 2020 after she outshined incumbent Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski in the Democratic primary with support from Ocasio-Cortez. She went on to defeat her Republican challenger in the general election.
