Guidance from regular O’Hare users

Hi
I’m flying MQT to LHR with an hour and 10 minutes transfer at O’Hare later this week.
Saw on the news this morning about delays because of federal shutdown/air traffic controllers.
Just worried that it wouldn’t take much for my MQT-ORD flight to be delayed and I’d be screwed for the onward. I know in theory AA should protect me but fat lot of good if all the other flights that evening are full.
Anyway if you are a regular O’Hare user do you think I should ask AA if they’ll out me on an earlier MQT-ORD flight (even if then a long layover which I don’t mind) or just stick to original plan and que sera sera. I don’t want to be stuck in Chicago a day or two, I need to get home. Thanks.
