“My thought to Kinzinger is he took himself out of the discussion by his announcement, but he can easily keep his name in this new narrative by claiming he’s exploring things… until the time petitions are filed for Governor or Senate… then he can change the discussion again as 2022 ramps up after primaries and November. I had this earlier, seems more appropriate here Oswego Willy - Friday, Nov 5, 21 10:27 am: * Illinois Republicans feel new momentum following Virginia election Democrats say they’ll keep state blue in 2022 Mike Murphy set to become new Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Throwing the General Assembly under the bus definitely has its political advantages. Can you chip in today so a strong progressive champion can fight off a tough primary challenge? We need Marie Newman to keep fighting for the people across Chicagoland. Already, she’s tackled postal delivery issues, train delays, and is delivering real results for working families in all parts of the district.īut a powerful few still want to shut her out and protect the status quo. Marie is the first woman to represent the Southwest Side and suburbs, and she’s been fighting for the people ever since she took office in January. I guess they don’t know Marie and our hundreds of volunteers. When the General Assembly drew a new congressional map and passed it shortly after midnight last Thursday, they tried to shut out a strong progressive champion from Congress. Let’s break down what happened in the last week. * On to a fundraising appeal from Marie Newman’s campaign manager Nick Uniejewski… How’s he gonna run against Duckworth or Pritzker while fulfilling his promise to fight the MAGA elements in his party? Maybe I’m wrong here, and I’ll fully admit it if I am, but just the other day Kinzinger was saying he didn’t have time to run for reelection because of the big national fight he wants to engage in. Running for governor would take him out of the national spotlight entirely.
THE HAMLET TV
But the reason nobody wants to challenge Duckworth is that she’s very popular, so defeating her would be quite tough and losing a US Senate election wouldn’t help him get a TV gig. Nobody seems to want to challenge Duckworth, so he’d probably get through the primary. A brief presidential bid could help that endeavor. To my eyes, he’s hoping for an eventual TV gig and maybe some foundation stuff. In a general election, he’d be running in a fairly blue state, where few Republicans have won statewide races in the past decade or so, including former Gov. In either primary, Kinzinger would have to win over a base that is still very much beholden to Trump. “The key is, how do we restore the honor of the party in the country?” Kinzinger told CNN, adding that he “definitely” wouldn’t rule out a White House run in 2024.Ī presidential bid would be a long shot for the Illinois Republican, who voted to impeach Trump and has become one of the most vociferous critics of the former President and his own party.īut a statewide race in Illinois could be just as much of an uphill climb. Adam Kinzinger is actively weighing whether to seek his political fortunes in the Senate, the Illinois governor’s mansion or even the White House, despite serious questions about whether there’s any future at all for a Donald Trump critic like him in today’s GOP.Īcknowledging his potential career options and timeline for the first time since announcing his retirement from the House last week, Kinzinger told CNN he is considering at least a statewide run if not a presidential one, and that he’ll “probably” make his decision on whether to launch a bid for governor or senator by January. * I just do not yet believe anything he told CNN except the possible Quixotic run for the presidency and the possibility that there’s no place for him in his party…
