U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood called on Illinois Republicans to get out the vote for congressional candidates hoping to increase the state’s GOP representation from the current three seats they currently occupy.

Republican nominee former President Donald Trump has said he will only accept the results of the Nov. 5 general election if “everything is honest.”

Over the course of his career, Dennis Quaid has been known as a film star, acting in everything from “The Parent Trap” to “The Right Stuff.” Now, he’s taking to the stage for a special one-night-only concert happening Friday, July 19 at the Athenaeum Center,

If it appeared in a movie, sports game or meme, chances are it’s been made into a bobblehead. And if it’s a bobblehead, it’s likely exhibited on one of the dozens of wooden bookshelves inside the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Day 3 of the RNC is in the books. National security and foreign policy were in the spotlight — as was former President Donald Trump’s running mate, who closed out tonight’s proceedings.

The 39-year-old Ohio senator is a relative political unknown. In his first primetime speech since becoming the nominee for vice president, Vance spoke of growing up poor in Kentucky and Ohio, his mother addicted to drugs and his father absent, and how he later joined the military and went on to the highest levels of U.S. politics.

“Well, I'll tell you your blue funk is over,” newly elected chair of the Illinois Republican Party Kathy Salvi said. “We're going to make Illinois red again.”

Before the Republican National Convention draws to a close in Milwaukee, Chicago police officials are in town to learn more about the safety and security measures in place ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention.

From brats to cheese, downtown Milwaukee businesses are hoping for a boost from the Republican National Convention. So far, business has been on the slow side. 

We’re live in Milwaukee, where Day 2 of the RNC is wrapping up. Public safety and immigration took center stage — as did many of former President Donald Trump’s primary rivals.
