The Illinois Republican Party will get a new leader this week as party Chair Don Tracy exits, citing too much time spent managing party infighting. But one thing Illinois Republicans at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee will not disagree on next week is their support for former President Donald Trump as their party’s nominee.  

Meanwhile, Gov. JB Pritzker will be working behind the scenes and in front of the TV cameras to campaign for President Joe Biden in Milwaukee.
