A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
One out of 50 State’s = 2 %. Can we assume from this that only Illinois voters want Pritzker as President?
One picture is worth a thousand words,
the lady in the pic with John Pritzker has her hand over her mouth, this is to stop the nausea
occurring from listening to the bull sh.. coming out of John’s mouth.
in Feb mark kelly was reported as seriously considering a run in 2028 and he will only be 64 making him a youngster compared to the last two presidents. decorated navy aviator and war hero, astronaut, US senator-can’t think of anyone even close to this level of credentials
Kelly should have his pension pulled and charged with treason for telling service men and women to disobey orders from superior officers. The enemy within good try!
Illinois taxpayers are footing the bill for many of Pritzker’s desired headlines for his presidential run. He could care less because he is not paying for it…you are
Evidently they didn’t poll the media hype machine.
i hope Pritzker spends millions of his own money in his ego trip presidential bid. Might get 5 votes for every million spent. Unfortunately, I think he’s come to realize he has no chance, Trump rants and all
at this point it is very likely that he will be re-elected as IL gov in November.
That’s because national voters are a lot smarter than IL voters.
Very likely? I think you mean 100% assured. His ballot harvesting machine is running in overdrive. The man took the last place Democrat senate candidate and moved her into first place by just enough to win. The other candidates were shell-shocked, flabbergasted, because Stratton had consistently been in last place. Raja spent tens of millions of dollars and abandoned his house seat for what he (and Robin Kelly both) believed were shoo-ins for the Senate. Well, when JB’s ballot harvesting machine goes into full gear, it sure can collect all the votes needed to win.
It doesn’t matter who votes it’s who COUNTS so yes
Things look bleak for JB when even Dems like Kamala over him. Bad mouthing the Bears, Ken Griffin, and State Farm doesn’t seem to have helped him much – even after all that Ozempic. Bad news is Illinois will be stuck with him. Think he will take a hint that his approval in Illinois is likely the same?
as the saying goes, facts do not care about your feelings because polling for pritzker’s approval as IL gov is around 52%
North of I80 and Champagne county decide the election, the rest of the state is red. It’s a numbers game so don’t flatter yourself with approval ratings, 6 counties decide the election everyone else knows the guy sucks!
