Republicans spent their day at the Illinois State Fair largely sidestepping the impact a Donald Trump presidential nomination might have on efforts to rejuvenate the moribund political organization in a state controlled by Democrats
House Minority Leader Tony McCombie speaks during Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield on Aug. 17, 2023.
Noting an “unending drumbeat” of Democratic ads on abortion rights last year, DeMonte and other Republicans said the GOP must work to label Democrats as extreme on the issue. “I’m always so curious as why is it all about Donald Trump?” state Rep. Tony McCombie of Savanna, the leader of the House Republicans’ 40-member minority in the 118-seat House, asked reporters. “Why don’t we concentrate about what’s going on in Illinois?”
The state’s Republican chairman, Don Tracy of Springfield, told GOP leaders, “If we are to win again in Illinois, we have got to win back the suburbs.” “I think it’s extremely important that Republicans don’t spend time beating up on other Republicans,” McCombie said. “And quite honestly, we don’t have to because the Democrats give us enough material that we can just take their material and beat up on them just quite enough.”
Former state Sen. Darren Bailey, who is running for Congress, speaks during Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield on Aug. 17, 2023. Trump endorsed Bailey for governor and Bost for reelection to the House in the 2022 election, and Bailey has actively courted the former president’s support for 2024.
