Pritzker Calls for Bold Action Among Democrats at New Hampshire Rally
Manchester, New Hampshire — CNN
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a fiery speech in New Hampshire, rallying Democrats ahead of the anticipated 2028 presidential nomination cycle. Addressing a packed room, he characterized the current political landscape as a “reckoning,” criticizing the “Looney Toon Republican Congress” and specifically targeting former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Pritzker urged Democratic leaders to abandon their “culture of timidity” and stop listening to those who underestimate the threat posed by Trump. Describing the current crises facing the country, he said, “We’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types,” while the real challenges go unaddressed. He emphasized the need for Democrats to heed the voices of ordinary Americans who are demanding robust responses.
Calling for mass protests and mobilization, Pritzker stressed that Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace,” and urged Democrats to fight back against what he termed Republican cruelty. He referenced alarming issues, such as deportations and the risk of silencing dissent, highlighting that today’s victims could easily become tomorrow’s targets.
Positioning himself as a leader against Trumpism, Pritzker energized the crowd, receiving applause from fellow Democrats, including former New Hampshire Governor John Lynch and Rep. Chris Pappas. They praised his call to action, recognizing his ability to inspire confidence within the party.
Though Pritzker did not announce a presidential bid and is contemplating a third term as governor, his rhetoric resonated powerfully, signaling a pivotal moment for the Democratic Party as they prepare for the challenges of the coming election cycle. Pritzker concluded by urging his peers to reject incrementalism, calling instead for bold action in the face of adversity.
