A political musical chairs game

Happy Veterans Day, Illinois. Today, and every day, we’re grateful to those who served. TOP TALKER WHAT IF? One big political move could trigger a chain reaction of vacancies in Illinois. From the governor’s mansion to City Hall and the county board, here’s how succession dominoes could fall. Starting at the top: If Gov. JB Pritzker were to run and win the presidency, he would resign as Illinois’ top elected official and incoming Lt. Gov. Christian Mitchell would take over as governor. No special election is required under the Illinois Constitution. That’s what happened when former Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn became governor in 2009 after then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich was removed from office. If Mitchell moves into the governor’s office, his former office would “remain vacant until the end of the term,” per the Illinois Constitution. The calendar matters: If Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias wins the Chicago mayor’s race next year, the governor would appoint someone to fill the seat, and a 28-month calculation would kick in: Under the Illinois Election Code , if more than 28 months remain in Giannoulias’ term, voters would choose a successor at the next general election. Otherwise, an appointee would serve out the term.

Illinois news in brief: Northwestern antisemitism coalition calls out exclusion of Wildcats for Israel; Pritzker pauses public events; Chicago report touts taxpayer-funded youth impact

Northwestern antisemitism coalition calls out exclusion of Wildcats for Israel The Coalition Against Antisemitism at Northwestern University says the school has launched a formal investigation after a discrimination complaint against Spoon University's Northwestern chapter. Spoon canceled its Cultural Food Fest last week due to backlash from three groups over the inclusion of Wildcats for Israel, a student-led organization dedicated to educating the Northwestern community about Israel. The coalition noted that Northwestern's November 28, 2025 federal resolution agreement followed the federal government's freeze of more than $1 billion in university research funding amid investigations into antisemitism and other compliance concerns. “It is chilling that in 2026, at my own alma mater, we are witnessing Jewish and Israeli students being singled out and excluded from a celebration of cultural diversity,” said Northwestern alumna Wendy Sachs in a statement. Pritzker pauses public events Gov. J.B. Pritzker has paused public events due to an outpatient urology procedure scheduled on Monday. Matt Hill, the governor’s deputy chief of staff for communications, said this is the standard and final follow-up to the same procedure he completed in May 2026. Later that month, the governor said he went to a Springfield hospital after he felt something that
