Episode: Bost v. Bailey in Southern Illinois’ 12th: who’s the “true conservative”?
Description: In far southern Illinois – a conservative congressman like incumbent Mike Bost would ordinarily be a shoo-in for reelection.
But he faces a serious challenge in the March 19th primary from a fellow Republican who says Bost’s voting record isn’t good enough – even though Bost was in line with former President Donald Trump 94 percent of the time.
