Governor JB Pritzker and his Republican challenger Darren Bailey are trading barbs ahead of next month’s general election. During a debate last night on WTTW, Pritzker blasted his opponent for siding with President Trump. Bailey slammed the governor for not doing more for Illinoisans despite having a Democratic supermajority in the state legislature during his time in office. Pritzker and Bailey also sparred over the Bears, data centers, energy policy, housing, immigration and tariffs.
