Thirty-three days remain until the Illinois gubernatorial elections.
-- Thirty-three days remain until the Illinois gubernatorial elections, and Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and his Republican opponent, Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey, faced off on Thursday night.
Bailey said the Safe-T Act must be repealed, and said it"lets violent offenders out of jail before trial." He claimed that Pritzker could have proposed bail reform for nonviolent criminals, but said that is not what the Safe-T Act is. "Illinois has the most permissive abortion law in the nation," he said."Nothing is going to change when I'm governor. I couldn't change them if I could."
North Central College political expert Stephen Caliendo expected before ethe debate that the spatting would continue in this debate. The candidates were also asked about immigration, and specifically about migrants who have been sent to Chicago by bus from Texas on the grounds that Illinois is a sanctuary state.

'Diminishing our credibility': Anita Hill reacts to GOP dismissal of Herschel Walker allegationsProfessor Anita Hill, author of 'Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence,' joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the challenges facing the Supreme Court in their new term and the allegations against pro-life Georgia Republican candidate for Senate Herschel Walker, who has denied paying for his ex-girlfriend’s abortion.
