Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to Headline Democratic Fundraiser in New Hampshire
Concord, N.H. — Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is set to headline the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, a significant fundraising event as he seeks to elevate his national profile ahead of the 2028 presidential race. As a vocal opponent of former President Donald Trump, Pritzker aims to address "rising authoritarianism" and galvanize Democratic resistance, according to his spokesperson, Jordan Abudayyeh.
The annual dinner holds particular importance due to New Hampshire’s status in the presidential primary calendar, making it a key platform for potential candidates. Pritzker, who has not announced his intentions for re-election in 2026, has been strategically building a foundation for a possible presidential bid. His previous remarks have drawn attention, notably a comparison between Trump’s rhetoric and the rise of Nazi Germany during his State of the State address in February.
In recent months, Pritzker has made appearances at various Democratic events, positioning himself distinctively among potential candidates, unlike Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who have sought more conciliatory engagements with Trump.
This isn’t Pritzker’s first foray into national politics; he was a keynote speaker at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s convention last year, stirring speculation about a broader political role. The 100 Club Dinner has a storied history of showcasing future presidential contenders, beginning with John F. Kennedy in 1959.
