CHICAGO, IL – New data reveals inflation reached a three-year high in May, a clear consequence of Donald Trump’s failing economic agenda and his illegal war of choice. Trump claims he loves the inflation, and Darren Bailey seems to feel the same way, given that he’s dodged questions on if he supports Trump’s war in Iran and refuses to stand up for the working families struggling to pay for gas and groceries. Bailey has championed Trump’s damaging policies and applauded his illegal tariffs.
In response, JB for Governor campaign spokesperson Alex Gough released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s chaos is making life more expensive for working families. To no surprise, Bailey remains a loud supporter of his failing policies. He has said it himself that he would roll out the red carpet for Trump, putting his MAGA agenda ahead of Illinois families. He’s proven time and time again how unfit he is to serve Illinois.”
Bailey’s shown his loyalty lies with Trump and Trump only – from saying he “believes” in Trump’s tariffs, to laughing when asked if he supports Trump’s war in Iran, to backing the President sending in the National Guard to Illinois. As inflation and costs soar, Bailey praises Trump, and the admiration is mutual.
While Bailey threatens to bring Trump’s damaging policies to Illinois, Governor JB Pritzker is lowering costs and raising wages to provide needed relief for working families across the state.
