Illinois Republicans used their state convention to go all-in for former President Donald Trump’s election this fall, adopting a platform attacking Democrats on several fronts.
COLLINSVILLE – Illinois Republicans used their state convention Saturday to go all in for former President Donald Trump’s election this fall, adopting a platform attacking Democrats for supporting abortion rights, eliminating cash bail and promoting transgender identity.
Madison County, once a downstate hotbed of Democratic politics, began a gradual shift three decades ago to become overwhelmingly Republican, and is now a growing suburban area of St. Louis. The GOP-led county board has placed a non-binding referendum on the November ballot calling for Illinois counties outside the Chicago area to secede and form a new state.
Bost acknowledged that has been a difficult line for suburban GOP candidates to toe as political campaigns have become more nationalized. The veteran GOP congressman said the suburban shift to Democrats has accelerated because of the U.S. Surpreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which returned questions of abortion legality to the states.
The platform adopted by more than 500 delegates at the convention also attacked the Democratic Party for eliminating cash bail, contending it “opposes law and order and law enforcement.”
