A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Profile… he’s as big as a house with an ego even bigger
His profile is making IL the LGBT, abortion and illegal immigrant capital of the US. He all created one of the highest taxing states and financially ruining IL.
Gov Pritzker lives in some alternate universe believing he has done a good job as governor. I to imagined myself as Roy Rogers when it occurred to me that I didn’t have a horse! I doubt JB could even manage the Park Hyatt. His family did not hire him nor should we nor should America.

He has his daddy’s $3.7B… Read more »
If he doesn’t run for governor, he can save his campaign money for the 2028 presidential cycle and have plenty left over to boost his chosen successor as governor and whoever he backs to replace Durbin in the Senate.
Good, then who are the Republicans going to have run against a demon democrat
