Darren Bailey Takes on Rep. Mike Bost in Illinois Congressional Race

Former Illinois Republican state senator Darren Bailey, who lost a bid for governor last year, has filed paperwork to run for Congress against five-term incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Bost. Bailey, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is set to make a formal announcement at a Fourth of July event. The race is expected to be closely watched as it pits two far-right Republicans against each other in downstate Illinois. Bost, also endorsed by Trump, has consistently won his district by double digits and has over $648,000 on hand. The Trump endorsement could play a significant role in the high-profile contest.
