Who will likely replace Dick Durbin (D-IL)?

[Anonymous]

Presumably, his replacement will be a Democrat, but who? Will it be a traditional Democrat or a Bernie/AOC democrat?

Forgot to add, I think Rahm Emanuel has a good chance. Of course, being Jewish these days could be a deal breaker for some party members. Being close to Obama may offset that and help him.

The position is for Rahm Emanuel to take.

1) He has deep ties to the Clinton machine (Podesta, Center for American Progress).
2) Jewish fundraising machine (he volunteered in Israel as a mechanic during the first Gulf War). His father was a member of Irgun, a terrorist Zionist org. (Don’t shoot the messenger, this is well documented by Israeli sources).
3) Media: brother Ari Emmanuel has deep ties to Hollywood and media.

Agree. This will be his to lose — assuming he puts his hat in the ring. It will be this then the WH.

Sounds like he'll have AIPAC's backing and therefore is guaranteed the position

Rahm hasn't been relevant in years.

He is 65. Too old. Underwood would be a good choice. A nurse. Hopkins grad and is under age 40!

Pritzker was in New Hampshire today. He’s running but not for Senate.

Lauren Underwood would be fantastic. Sean Casten would also be great.

Current Lt. Governor has already declared. She looks good!

This is what I want. I'm sick of donating my money to the older Dems who are too scared to do anything. I think that the reason why the Dems won't make any waves is because they fear the dirt Elon can dig up/has dug up on them.

I'm not dumb enough to think that every Democrat is squeaky clean. I'm sure the older Dems are dirty and have their skeletons hidden. That's why I want new, young blood in who haven't gotten dirty or been corrupted by the dirty system that is politics.

For those saying Rahm, do you or have you lived in Illinois? I am a former Chicagoan and I don’t think it seems likely
