from Chicago Unscripted · host Joe Donlon

Two Illinois political insiders are back to share their thoughts on the bombing campaign in Iran, the Epstein files, and the emerging wedges dividing MAGA. We examine the key Senate and House races in the Illinois primary, and a Cook County race they say could lead to a sea change in local politics. The conversation ends with insights on the midterms, and the curious questions around President Trump’s health. Plus, the hurdles facing Governor JB Pritzker if runs for president, and who they see as the potential democratic nominee in ’28.
