Despite a series of late campaign controversies, Trump’s endorsement carried Mary Miller ahead of moderate incumbent and five-term Representative Rodney Davis in the newly drawn, heavily red district in southern Illinois that pitted the two against each other.
Dave Wasserman first called the race for Miller after a surprise surge. The race was expected to be close and Davis started strong in the early results.
I’ve seen enough: Trump-endorsed Rep. Mary Miller (R) defeats moderate Rep. Rodney Davis (R) in the #IL15 GOP primary. Davis is the third incumbent to lose so far tonight.

Miller is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and voted against certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, according to Chicago Sun-Times.
Davis was not outright anti-Trump, but voted to certify the 2020 election results and to establish a commission to investigate the events at the Capitol on January 6th, though the bill he supported would fail in the Senate.
This is a breaking story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
This is how you get around lifetime politicians and the lack of term limits, don’t keep voting them in and vote in a new crop!
By now everybody should be on guard for Rinos.If you do NOT trust the person get rid of them.We must have honorable leaders,not traiders.If a person is dishonest in little things,they WILL be dishonest in big things.
The information leak was absolutely intentional and don’t believe any “breech” spin from Bonta’s office. He is a partisan snake plain and simple!
