Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski

It looks like Rep. Dan Lipinski is finally feeling the heat. Just a few days after two fellow Democrats from Illinois' congressional delegation took the extremely unusual step of endorsing his primary challenger, businesswoman Marie Newman, Lipinski decided to quietly bow out of a planned speaking role at the "March for Life" in Washington, DC, over the weekend.

Indeed, Lipinski apparently didn’t even tell organizers he was going to be a no-show. The congressman claims he bailed after Donald Trump was added to the speakers' list, saying that because "no one knows what the President may say at any time … I did not want to put myself in a potentially morally compromised situation."

That fear of an unhinged Trump may well have motivated Lipinski to duck out, but it's also true that now's not the time he wants to be touting his anti-choice credentials as loudly as he's accustomed to. And the simple fact that he's concerned about blowback, whatever the reason, suggests that he's actually taking his primary seriously.

Let’s give him another reason to worry: Donate $3 to Marie Newman today!
