What Went Down In The Arizona, Florida And Illinois Primaries

Another big race to watch in Chicago today is the Cook County state’s attorney’s race, where incumbent Kim Foxx is being challenged by several other candidates, including former assistant state’s attorney Bill Conway, whose candidacy was bankrolled by his billionaire father. Conway attacked Foxx for her handling of the attack allegedly staged by former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett in Chicago last year. Foxx was elected as a “progressive prosecutor” and she has instituted a number of reforms, but her critics have tried to focus this year’s election on the Smollett case. We’ll see soon if it worked.

Kane County in the Chicago exurbs just reported about 20,000 votes in Illinois, and Biden leads Sanders there 64-28.

As we get more Election Day vote in from Florida, both Biden and Sanders’s share of the vote is increasing at the expense of candidates like Bloomberg who dropped out. But the delegate math is remaining about the same with Biden on pace for a 100-delegate net gain out of Florida or so.
