Carterville, IL — Today, Donald Trump wannabe Darren Bailey made it official: he’s in. In response, the Democratic Party of Illinois issued the following statement:
“After being rejected by Illinoisans across the state for his extreme views, this supposedly new and improved Darren Bailey is back for another run for Governor. He may have deleted his most extreme Facebook posts and videos, but Illinois voters haven’t forgotten: Darren Bailey is an extreme MAGA Republican, a Donald Trump loyalist, and has no business anywhere near the Governor’s Office.”
Bailey’s destructive record speaks for itself: cozying up to fringe extremists, supporting abortion bans, cheering on Trump’s Tariffs that raise prices for Illinois families, and voting against increased funding for public schools and law enforcement.
And he’s not alone. In this race to the bottom, Bailey joins Ted Dabrowski, who managed to accelerate the collapse of a failing nonprofit, a county sheriff whose fundraising numbers would be impressive only in a countywide race, and a little-known conspiracy theorist.
