Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Urges Democrats to Fight Back Against Trump Administration
MANCHESTER, N.H. — In a passionate address at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club state party dinner on Sunday, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker challenged Democrats to vigorously oppose the Trump administration and criticized his party for a "culture of incrementalism" that he believes has allowed Republicans to dominate the political landscape.
Speaking in front of over 800 enthusiastic attendees, Pritzker made it clear that Democrats must adopt a more aggressive stance as they prepare for the next presidential election. "It’s time to fight, everywhere, all at once," he declared, while condemning the President’s policies that undermine fundamental civil rights.
Though Pritzker has not confirmed his intention to run for president in 2028, his presence at this crucial early primary event indicates his potential candidacy. He dismissed speculation about a presidential run, stating he is yet to decide on seeking a third term as governor.
In his speech, Pritzker warned that Democrats’ recent losses were not due to a defense of their progressive values but rather a perceived lack of commitment to fighting for them. He expressed disappointment in fellow party members flocking to media platforms without demonstrating bold action for working families, emphasizing that voters want to see decisive leadership.
Invoking urgent calls for "mass protests" and "mobilization," Pritzker outlined his vision for the party’s future, suggesting that if Democrats regain the House, they should investigate the actions of the Trump administration, focusing on potential breaches of privacy and constitutional rights.
As the Democratic Party gears up for future elections, Pritzker’s rallying cry could reshape the narrative moving forward, encouraging a more vocal and combative approach in the face of GOP challenges.
