Donna Miller Clinches Democratic Primary, Halting Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Comeback Bid

Donna Miller won the Chicago-area Democratic primary, blocking former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s bid to return to Congress. Miller, a Cook County commissioner, ran on lowering health-care costs and expanding Obamacare and is heavily favored to win the deep-blue district. Her campaign drew millions from a pro-Israel AIPAC-linked super PAC, though she said there was no formal endorsement; she was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune editorial board and Rep. Brad Schneider, with encouragement from House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries ahead of the vote.
