/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic candidates Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh appeared to cozy up to each other and enjoy drinks at a historic Chicago cocktail bar, less than a month before they are set to face each other in a heated House primary.

Biss, the mayor of Evanston, Illinois, and Abughazaleh, a prominent left-wing social media influencer, are both running in Illinois’ 9th congressional district, which will hold its crowded Democratic primary on March 17 to replace retiring longtime Democratic Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, 81. Both were spotted next to each other at Uptown Chicago’s Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, photos from multiple accounts posted to X on Thursday show.

The photos depict Biss, who is married with two children, seated closely next to Abughazaleh, more than 20 years his junior, in a booth at the century-old bar, with what appeared to be multiple alcoholic drinks on the table.

In one photo, Biss is seen smiling and holding up a glass in the direction of the Abughazaleh. Another shows the mayor tilting his head toward the influencer with just inches separating the two Democrats.

When asked for comment, Biss’ campaign referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to Axios reporter Justin Kaufmann’s X post.
