Underwood still has to wait on Durbin (and other primary foes after Durbin retires)

I like her chances in a primary and yes Durbin needs to hang it up and take his precious blue slips with him.

Agreed on Durbin. Girl, bye.

But are we confident in Underwood winning vs Krishnamoorthi? His fundraising says heтАЩs going for it hard. But, come on. HeтАЩd be great but IL gonna do IL and the black woman is going to win. IL did it first and I bet theyтАЩll want to do it again. And, when you wiki black US Senators, Carol Moseley Braun is 4th, Obama is 5th and bless his heart, Roland Burris is 6th.

From my experience living in Mpls and electing Muslims to Congress, it feels good doing it bc of the historical nature of it all. Not that Underwood needs to rely on symbolic votes like Omar does, but it helps.
