Stratton's win isn't a grassroots triumph — it's a billionaire governor buying a Senate seat, with Pritzker pumping at least $5 million into a super PAC that spent $14 million boosting her while she raised just $4 million on her own. The Congressional Black Caucus chair called Pritzker's meddling "beyond frustrating," and rightfully so. Extreme positions like abolishing ICE will make Stratton a liability, and Don Tracy is already calling her the most far-left Senate candidate Illinois has ever seen.
