MORRIS, Ill. — U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran, is again on the frontlines. But it’s a different battlefield for the northern Illinois Republican. This one’s closer to home.
For more than six months, the six-term congressman has been engaged in what he believes to be a fight for the soul of the Republican Party. It's pitting him against loyalists to former President Donald Trump.
It’s a battle for truth that Kinzinger, in a sit-down interview this month with Lee Enterprises, concedes he is not winning — at least not at the moment.
