Trump, Democrats, both big winners in Illinois GOP gubernatorial primary
Fox News
Conservative state Sen. Darren Bailey's convincing win in the Illinois Republican gubernatorial primary is significant for former President Donald Trump - and for Democrats.
Bailey's victory gives Trump some bragging rites, after the former president suffered setbacks in other high-profile Republican gubernatorial showdowns so far this primary season.
But Bailey's nomination is also a win for Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association, who combined spent tens of millions of dollars to boost Bailey over moderate Republican Mayor Richard Irvin of Aurora, a city in metropolitan Chicago.
