Rauner to make "major" campaign announcement Thursday

By Natasha Korecki

Illinois GOP gubernatorial nominee Bruce Rauner will deliver a “major announcement regarding his campaign,” the Rauner camp announces.

The campaign has been tight-lipped on details but I’m told it will make legitimate news.

The availability will be held 10 a.m. in Chicago.

Having predicted a win, Rauner’s strategists had time to plan out their first major splash right out of the gates.
