Pritzker Seeks Third Illinois Term With Eye on White House

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker unveiled his bid for a third term with an attempt to position himself as a champion of voters’ economic concerns and a foil to President Donald Trump.

“These days, Illinois is standing at the center of the fight: the fight to make life more affordable, the fight to protect our freedoms, the fight for common sense,” Pritzker said in the first video of his reelection campaign. “Donald Trump’s made it clear he’ll stop at nothing to get his way. I am not about to stand by and let him tear down all we’re building in Illinois.”
