Pritzker launches campaign for 3rd term as Illinois governor

Descrizione:

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced he’s running for a third term in 2026, even as speculation grows about a possible 2028 presidential bid. In his announcement video, the Democratic governor pledged to fight for affordability and freedoms while criticizing Donald Trump’s administration. Pritzker, a billionaire heir and vocal Trump critic, is considered the clear favorite in the deep‑blue state. While he’s downplayed presidential ambitions, his national appearances and advocacy for abortion rights have fueled talk of a future run, Politico has reported. His current lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton, is running for U.S. Senate.
