About the Illinois U.S. House primary races

The backstory:

The departing members include Robin Kelly in the 2nd District, who is running for the open U.S. Senate seat, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia in the 4th District, who is retiring, Danny Davis in the 7th District, who is retiring, Raja Krishnamoorthi in the 8th District, who is running for the open U.S. Senate seat, and Jan Schakowsky in the 9th District, who is retiring. 

All the departing members are Democrats. Each of their districts is considered solidly blue, meaning the Democratic candidates who win in their respective primary races on Tuesday are very likely to win the general election in November.

Democrats are widely expected to win back the House from Republican control, continuing the pattern of the party that lost the previous presidential race winning back at least one chamber of Congress in the next midterm cycle.

The general election is slated for Nov. 3.
