As much as I wanted a post on the results of the presidency back in December or earlier, I am glad that I haven’t done it yet and will work really hard to get it done at some point soon in the near future (I hope), although it might not happen until next month. I also have no idea at the time how long these random updates will continue and if it will go back to monthly ones instead. I also don’t yet know when I’ll see more of The Good Fight as that would supersede a lot of these political posts, but would undoubtedly still have different political things in it.
Anyways, let’s get to the 2020 Illinois senate race results. Every six years now it seems, one of the most boring and predictable elections happens which can be a nice change. I have no idea just how little the RNC cares about winning this election, but one can only assume that they don’t have any interest because they never seem to spend money on winning this seat at all. And while Dick Durbin, the winner of the race, doesn’t spend any money on ads either (at least on TV that I see), he is able to coast to a win easily as well.
Let’s face it: this senate seat won’t be interesting until Dick Durbin dies or retires from office. He has held this seat since the 90s while the corresponding senate seat keeps being fought over more and more and is normally occupied by a new person every cycle. I’ll have to keep track of that in 2022. He will hang on to his senate seat until the 2026 election with his term set to expire on January 3, 2027. I have no idea what else there is worth saying.
