Trump speaks at Illinois rally

ADAMS COUNTY, Ill. (WTVO) — Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Western Illinois on Saturday ahead of Tuesday’s primary election.

The event just outside of Quincy was to stump for Congresswoman Mary Miller. She is in a close primary with Congressman Rodney Davis due to new redistricting lines.

Trump also endorsed Darren Bailey for governor, who is the current front runner in the GOP race. He would take on Governor JB Pritzker in November if he wins.

The former president also addressed the Supreme Court overturning abortion rights and guns, and said that everything the January 6 committee is showing is lies. He called out Congressman Adam Kinzinger for being a Republican on the committee.
