The same senator seat had multiple incidents in the last 30 years. Most recent flip was the governor Blagojevich incident trying to sell the seat when Obama vacated, then the time before that was a literal Nigerian scandal with secret visits to their dictator and their fiance being a foreign agent that later fled the US.

A partner-sharing bondage sex club scandal wasn't the usual Chicago corruption but Jeri's husband swore there was nothing damning in the divorce in order to get his candicacy. So when the custody records came out everyone was pissed at him and there wasn't any chance to swap to a backup.
