Chairman Sean Morrison Statement on Results of 2024 Presidential Election

I extend my warmest congratulations to President Donald Trump on his re-election, a sweeping mandate that resonates with Americans' trust in his leadership. This victory is a testament to his commitment to the people and his dedication to strengthening our nation. The people have spoken decisively, and we are ready to continue working together for a prosperous future.

On behalf of the Cook County Republican Party, we celebrate this momentous win and look forward to the continued success and progress President Trump will bring to our communities and country. Moving forward we should not ignore facts.

In Illinois, the numbers tell a powerful story: former President Donald Trump garnered 2,483,905 votes - 48% of the state's electorate. In contrast, Governor JB Pritzker, despite spending a staggering $200 million on his own campaign, achieved a maximum vote total of 2,479,746.

This stark comparison underscores the significant support for Republican leadership in Illinois and raises serious questions about the lengths Democrats have gone to retain power in our state. These vote figures reveal a reality that Democrats are well aware of and likely fueled their redistricting maneuvers back in 2021 to ensure control.

With voter sentiment leaning toward change, this statement serves as a call to address gerrymandering practices that undermine Illinoisans' true political will. Illinois deserves fair representation that accurately reflects the voice of the people, not lines drawn to preserve one-party dominance.
