CHICAGO — Following the vice presidential debate, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement:

“Tonight, Senator JD Vance exposed leftist Tim Walz’s extreme, out-of-touch agenda with our nation and showed the importance of electing President Trump in November. Tim Walz was clear that a Harris-Walz administration is nothing more than a continuation of the disastrous Biden presidency that’s seen a failed economy, open borders, and out of control crime on the rise. Illinois does not need another far-left governor serving as Vice President to help JB Pritzker raise taxes and drive families away from the Prairie State.”
