Pritzker took home a decisive victory over Republican Darren Bailey in his bid for re-election on Tuesday, but around the Wabash Valley, Bailey had strong support.

Illinois' top contests include a gubernatorial race between Democrat JB Pritzker and Republican Darren Bailey, races for U.S. Senate and Congress, and Amendment 1: The right to collective bargaining.
When Gov. J.B. Pritzker claimed victory Tuesday night for a second term as Illinois governor, he also presented himself as a possible 2024 candidate for the White House if President Joe Biden opts not to seek a second term.
