Sorry, Chuck. Time to retire.

Schumer told us he's staying to ensure Israel gets weapons to kill all Palestinians. That's why he's the Democratic Senate leader.

Democrats celebrate gains made in Chicago suburbs, Wisconsin

Political analysts signaled ahead of Tuesday's elections that the results could be seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump's first two-and-a-half months in office.

Pritzker went on to explain that the Illinois Democratic Party, which has the financial backing of the billionaire governor, focused on 270 races and won almost 80 percent of them Tuesday night.

He also pointed to Democratic gains made in DuPage County. He said the results are indicators of Democratic momentum and Democrats deciding to "fight back."

"Republicans lost almost everywhere," Pritzker said. "People rejected those who were acolytes of Donald Trump. Look at Keith Pekau in Orland Park. Look at Richard Irvin in Aurora."

Incumbent mayors in Orland Park and Aurora both lost their attempts at a third term. The race in Orland Park was especially bitter. Challenger Jim Dodge defeated Keith Pekau, who was a strong supporter of Donald Trump. Dodge is a former trustee who had the support of labor unions and pushed for less partisanship.

Pritzker also contributed his money to the WI Supreme Court race for Crawford - who won.
