Black Woman to Become Illinois Senator
Stratton, a former state legislator and lieutenant governor, backed Medicare for All and a $25 minimum wage.
Krishnamoorthi spent $29 million on ads, while Illinois Future PAC spent $14.9 million.
Stratton could become Illinois's second Black woman senator and the sixth in U.S. history.
Internal party critics noted the race attracted less national attention than a Texas primary.
