Don Tracy, the former chair of the Illinois Republican Party, emerged victorious in the GOP primary for the open Senate seat in Illinois on Tuesday. The closely watched race was seen as a key test for the Republican party's direction in a crucial swing state.
Tracy's win came after a hard-fought campaign that saw him fend off several challengers, including a self-funded political outsider and a sitting state legislator. His victory sets the stage for a high-profile general election battle that will likely draw national attention and significant campaign spending from both parties.
