Good Monday morning, Illinois. With just a day to go before the election, the dynamics of both the Republican and Democratic presidential races are quickly changing. POLITICO reported late last night that the Donald Trump campaign sidelined its Illinois campaign director last week, amid complaints of lackluster organization.

Hillary Clinton will visit the city this morning to talk economic opportunity. Bernie Sanders has a rally planned for the evening in Chicago.
