Congressional candidate and former Republican candidate for Governor Darren Bailey visited with those at the Marion County Fairgrounds Wednesday night.
Conversations included the new indictments against former President Donald Trump in connection with the January 6th attack on the Capitol. He called the indictments a shell game and part of a witch hunt that will fail miserably.
“People here in southern Illinois are standing up and supporting President Trump. They are educated and understand all of this nonsense that has been coming down. They understand the political game that’s involved with these trumped-up charges. This is absolutely nonsense and I believe the Democrat party is scared to death of Donald Trump and that he is going to get re-elected. I think that we are going to see these games all the way up until this man is elected and starts cleaning this up.
Bailey says there is no way that Joe Biden will be the Democratic candidate for President. He expects the candidate will either be Illinois Governor JB Pritzker or California Governor Gavin Newsom because of the personal wealth they can bring to the campaign.

Biden only needed 3 or 4 counties to win the entire state due to how the population is concentrated in HELLINOIS. He won those 3 or 4 counties handily
