2008 United States Senate election in Illinois
The 2008 United States Senate election in Illinois was held on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Dick Durbin sought a third term in office and faced minimal opposition from Republican Steve Sauerberg. As expected, Durbin overwhelmingly won re-election. On the same night, fellow Democratic Senator Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, defeating Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona. As of 2025, this is the last Senate election in Illinois in which a candidate received more than 60% of the vote.
