▸ Why this race

Sorensen's narrow 8.9% victory margin in 2024, despite running in a district Trump won by 4.8 points, creates a fundamental mismatch between presidential and congressional voting patterns that could reassert itself in 2026 as Illinois swings toward Republicans in state-level races.
