At the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on April 27, 2025, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a forceful critique of fellow Democrats, accusing them of being "do-nothing Democrats" for failing to effectively oppose former President Donald Trump. (apnews.com)
Pritzker lambasted party leaders for heeding "a bunch of know-nothing political types" instead of engaging with everyday Americans. He contended that these leaders blamed electoral defeats on progressive stances rather than acknowledging their own lack of courage. Without naming specific individuals, Pritzker appeared to contrast himself with figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom, who recently made controversial remarks about immigration and transgender athletes.

Emphasizing the need for mobilization and protest, Pritzker urged Democrats to focus on their core values and remain bold. He invoked his Jewish faith while condemning Trump’s actions, including attempts to deport foreign students participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. His speech received a standing ovation and further fueled speculation of a potential presidential run in 2028. (apnews.com)
