Darren Bailey concedes to U.S. Rep. Mike Bost in southern Illinois GOP primary – St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Bailey, a former state senator and the unsuccessful 2022 GOP nominee for governor, was hoping to unseat the 63-year-old incumbent. Bailey’s hopes to win the endorsement in this race from Donald Trump were dashed when Trump, the presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, gave his backing to Bost.

And therein lies the problem with running as a Republican in Illinois: Lose one even race and you will forever be labelled a loser candidate with no shot at winning. That’s why its so hard to get good people to run, because the downside of losing are so great.
