The Week in Review: Schools Closed, Events Canceled as COVID-19 Spreads

Illinois’ primary elections, however, will continue as planned on Tuesday. One poll shows Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx with a 16-point lead over other Democratic candidates in that race, who debated each other during our “Chicago Tonight” candidate forum Thursday.
