Okay, so we have clearly a ton to get to tonight, as I just noticed, noted with Chris,

it's primary night in the state of Illinois. There are multiple Democratic candidates who are

vying to succeed retiring Senator Dick Durbin. That race is continuing. It hasn't been

called yet. There are lots of really interesting, hotly contested congressional primaries. We're

keeping an eye on that, as I said to Chris, may tell us something about where Democratic voters are

right now, including, you know, what excites them, what moves them. So we're going to talk to

about a lot tonight, but I want to start this show by just getting right to MS Now Chief Data

Reporter who's at the big board, Ali Valshi, all vested up. This is a new vest. I don't know this vest, but we have lots of primary nights to go. Thank you for noticing, my friend. Tell us, the last time I checked, it was pretty tight in the Senate race. I know things are probably moving around, but tell us where things stand right now across the board. Well, look, first of all, this is just really interesting.

The Senate numbers, we've only got 49% in.

It's awfully close right now.

But Giuliana Stratton, the Lieutenant Governor, is in the lead now with 38.5%.

Roger Christian-Morti, the five-time congressman has got 33% of the vote, and Robin Kelly, who is also a member of Congress,

supported by the Congressional Black Caucus, has got 20% of the vote.

It's sort of roughly in the order we were thinking it would be.

I will tell you there are some key counties that haven't reported yet, including DuPage County,

which is expected to be a place that Roger Krishna-Morty is going to do very well, as well as the two counties, the three counties around Peoria, no vote from there yet, 49% of the vote in. So we're keeping a close eye on that, but the point you make is very valid that in all of these races, including the congressional races, there are five open seats. No one is largely expecting any of those to flip. These are the Democratic Senate seat and it's Democratic House seats, but what happens within them is particularly interesting. There are many interesting races here because if you win this, you're likely to become the member of Congress, so it's hotly contested. In Chicago, Illinois 9, which is Evanston, Chicago has a lot of districts around it.

So they all sort of hang on to a little bit of a Chicago suburb and then spread out into some rural area.

District 9 is the one we're watching the most closely of the five, of the four contested races.

84% of the vote is in.

Daniel Biss, who is the mayor of Evanston, is winning right now. He's got 30% of the vote. This is not like a southern primary where you have to get 50%. It's first past the post. Kat Abugazale, the progressive activist, is in with 24% of the vote. All eyes were on her because she's 26 years old. If she were to get elected, she'd be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. At this point, it becomes a little hard at 84% to see how she makes up

the 5,000 vote difference, but anything can happen. So we're watching that very closely. A number of

these races are not yet determined. Illinois 8, 58% of the vote right now. Melissa Bean, former
