Honestly looking at those returns and how shes been closing in slowly all night and morning, I'm not entirely sure Biss won. He is only ahead by 3% and still 8% left to count in the largest county. If Cook County ends up just being completely even and she maintains or increases her count in the other counties; she wins.
Regardless all outlets have called it for him. Might be slightly premature 👀
