"The senator will be 82 when his fifth term expires in 2027.

'It’s going to be a free-for-all,' predicts political consultant Don Rose."

Durbin is a prime example of a waste of skin. In Illinois the politicians will anoint a black, gay, transgender, migrant, ex felon for the Senate job.

They’re not going to let Durbin be replaced with a white man. Ain’t gonna happen. Illinois is the identity politics state. Kwame is the only black man on the list. He ain’t going to take over senate seat. It’s going to be Brandon for Senate.

Hey, anyone see the other IL Senator lately? I can’t even remember her name at this point.

Bernie from “Weekend with Bernie” easily could.
