Donald Trump spent time in Chicago this week speaking to the Economic Club. It was an interesting strategy with less than two weeks to go until Election Day. On this episode, we discuss how the Midwest could decide the presidential race and why Illinois is no longer in play for Republicans. We also address efforts to ensure election security.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler and Chicago Tribune Chief Political Reporter Rick Pearson.

The former director of the Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) graduate program is Professor Charles N. Wheeler III, a veteran newsman who came to the University of Illinois at Springfield following a 24-year career at the Chicago Sun-Times.
