President Trump makes his first presidential visit to Illinois, delivering a speech at U.S. Steel's Granite City Works, near St. Louis.
Earlier in the week, Gov. Bruce Rauner had to answer questions about his appearance at a church service where Chicago mayoral candidate Willie Wilson was dispensing cash from a huge stack of bills.

Sean Crawford hosts with regular panelist Brian Mackey and guests Doug Finke of GateHouse Media and The State Journal-Register and Kent Redfield, a retired political scientist at the University of Illinois Springfield.
