Illinois senator Dick Durbin writing in the Chicago Tribune : “The decision to run for reelection has not been easy. I love the job of United States senator. But I know there comes a time when the torch must be passed.”
I agree. He’s a good guy, but he’s an eighty-year-old good guy. Enough.
There’s already speculation that congresswoman Mary Miller (R, IL-15) might be considering a Senate run. She does appear to be seeking greater and greater notoriety as a culcher warrier. Her latest stunt: asking the Department of Education and the Department of Justice to investigate the Illinois High School Association and the state of Illinois for allowing trans athletes in girls’ sports.
I can hear the ads already: “As a member of Congress, she led the fight,” &c. But I doubt she’ll get very far.

I hope Illinois's Republican party is as out of it as Minnesota's Republicans and they do nominate her... guaranteeing she loses the general.
Yes, she would lose, hugely. But I’d hate to see people who don’t know what she’s really about fall for “faith, family, farming,” her mantra when she first ran.
