A central Illinois Senator is disappointed with last week's election but is not focused on the negatives.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, State Sen. Chapin Rose told Regional Radio while the election results were disappointing, Senate Republicans were able to pick up a seat.

According to the Mahomet Republican, there are issues that he believes are winning issues in Illinois, and says it's likely Gov. Pritzker will not be around much longer in his pursuit of the Presidency.

Sen. Rose believes the abortion issue was what rescued Democrats from a quote - red tsunami. If or when Gov. Pritzker moves on to his pursuit of the Presidency, Sen. Rose says whoever his predecessor is will not have the abortion issue to fall back on.

Sen. Rose believes Illinois Democrats spending this election cycle was very impactful but questions if they will be able to maintain that going forward if Gov. Pritzker, in fact, moves on to pursue the presidency.
