Typically, Democrats win the state by at least 10 percent. In the 2024 election though, Harris won by only around 4 percent.

Voters in Illinois and across the country head to the polls Tuesday. The race for President of the United States is just one of many offices on the ballot. Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump and their running mates have made their their final pitch to voters.

It's the first time Trump has topped an opponent in the popular vote​, and only the second time since 1988 that any Republican has done so.
