"O'Neill Burke Holds Narrow Lead in Cook County State's Attorney Race"

The Democratic primary for Cook County state’s attorney remains too close to call, with Eileen O’Neill Burke holding a narrow lead over Clayton Harris III as mail-in ballots continue to be counted. Burke, who stepped down from the appellate court to run, leads in the suburbs while Harris leads in the city. The race is seen as a referendum on the legacy of current State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, with Burke distancing herself from Foxx's policies while Harris supports them.
