Illinois primary election results

Illinois voters are set to decide competitive U.S. House races around the state. The most closely-watched races in Illinois include a downstate Republican matchup between Republican Rep. Mike Bost and former state Sen. Darren Bailey. Bailey was an unsuccessful 2022 GOP nominee for governor. He is hoping to unseat the 63-year-old incumbent. In the heavily Democratic Chicago area, Democratic Rep. Danny Davis is locked in a competitive five-way primary. The challengers include progressive anti-violence activist Kina Collins and Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin. Three-term Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is also facing a spirited challenge from Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez.

Five states will hold presidential primaries as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump continue to lock up support around the country after becoming their parties’ presumptive nominees. Democrat Biden and Republican Trump each earned enough delegates during elections last week to clinch their spots at the top of the ticket, setting them up for a rematch from 2020. Neither man faces any major challengers Tuesday. Trump is expected to easily win GOP primaries in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio. Biden is expected to do the same in all those states except Florida — where Democrats canceled their primary and opted to award all 224 of their delegates to Biden.

Results will be posted here when polls close at 7 p.m.
