IL-13: Congressman Rodney Davis won't say if he'll vote for President Trump's re-election

But when asked in July 2018, during a visit to Roland Machinery in Springfield, if he had kept to what he said and didn't vote for Trump, he wouldn't say.

"There's one thing I've learned in this business," he said at the time. "I will never tell anybody who I voted for."

He said then that he thought the president was working hard to move the country in the right direction.

He continues to say the people elected Trump, so he will work with him.

His position about not revealing his coming vote for president hadn't changed as of Friday, spokesman Aaron DeGroot said.

Davis now, as in 2016, is the incumbent running against Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan of Springfield in the 13th Congressional District.

Londrigan, in a statement when I asked last week, didn't waffle on her choice.

"America needs leaders who will fight to protect and expand the Affordable Care Act and ensure access to quality, affordable health care," she said. "That's what I'll fight for in Congress and it's why I am proud to be voting for (former) Vice President (Joe) Biden and Senator Kamala Harris and look forward to working with them to bring our country together."

What's so difficult for you to stand up for something, Rod?
