The race for Illinois governor has taken a new turn with the emergence of an independent candidate whose campaign could draw support from Republican nominee Darren Bailey, prompting Bailey's team to challenge his place on the ballot.

Darren Bailey is projected to win the Republican Illinois Governor nomination, setting up a rematch with Governor JB Pritzker in November.

Former Illinois State Senator Darren Bailey is running it back in an attempt to win the Republican nomination for Illinois governor, four years after he was soundly beaten by Governor JB Pritzker.

The race for the Republican nomination for governor is heading into the home-stretch, and the candidates are making their last-minute pitch to voters before the March 17 primary.
