First call of the night is in #IL02, where Donna Miller, a member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, has easily won the Democratic primary. Given the district's lean (Harris+33), she's now the overwhelming favorite to replace Rep. Robin Kelly in the House.

Born Fighting: Robert Peters Beat The Odds. Now He’s Fighting For Us All

A New Generation Of Progressives Is Rising. One Who's Leading the Way is Robert Peters, currently occupying the Illinois state Senate seat Barack Obama once occupied, now running for IL-02. Endorsed by Bernie, he is also the first candidate backed this year by David Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve, he would represent the solid blue district— Trump drew just 29% in 2020 and 33% last year— that Robin Kelly is leaving to run for the U.S. Senate. Let's get 50 Real Fighters in Congress like Robert over the Midterms.
