Darren Bailey, the 2022 Illinois Republican gubernatorial nominee, is expected to announce a primary challenge to Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) as soon as July 4, according to multiple sources.
Four sources told the Washington Examiner that Bailey, a former Illinois state representative and senator who ran for governor in 2022 but lost by 12 points to Gov. J.B. Pritzker , is planning to run for Congress in Illinois’s 12th Congressional District against Bost, the incumbent Republican. Three of the sources said the announcement would come on July 4.The Washington Examiner obtained an invitation to a July 4 party at Bailey’s family farm.
Both Bailey and Bost are staunch conservatives and supporters of former President Donald Trump. The two were endorsed by the former president in their respective 2022 election bids. In January 2021, Bost objected to President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in support of Trump. Bost has $648,894 on hand as of April 1, according to Federal Election Commission records. He has not had a primary challenger since his first reelection bid in 2018. He won his last general election in 2022 by 50 points. His district is an R+24, according to the Cook Political Report.
"I'm confident we've got the resources to prepare for any challenge ahead of us and a proven, conservative record of results that position us quite well for the upcoming campaign season," Bost said in a statement.
