SPRINGFIELD– Illinois’ junior U.S. senator just wants somebody in the White House and in the Governor’s Mansion she can work with. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) says 2020 is only partially about getting a Democrat into the White House.
“I was just at the Marion VA ,” Duckworth tells WJBC News. “People just want to work together. They’re not saying, get rid of Trump. They’re not saying, put in a Democrat. It may be different on the wast coast or the west coast, but here in the industrial Midwest, what I hear is, hey! Nobody’s buying my soybean crop this year!”
Duckworth is looking forward to having JB Pritzker as governor, if indeed he wins Tuesday.
“In the years that Gov. Rauner has been in office, we have lost out on a lot of federal dollars, federal matching dollars, because they went to other states because the state did not have the budget for all of those years.”
Duckworth called for a stop to what she called “reality tee vee” tactics like sending troops to the border and airing racist commercials.
