Gov. JB flexes political muscle in Illinois Senate primary as 2028 buzz builds – FOX News

U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, accused the governor of trying "to tip the scales" in the primary. "A sitting governor shouldn’t be heavy-handing the race. Quite frankly, his behavior in this race won’t soon be forgotten by any of us," Clarke emphasized in a statement. But for Pritzker, the Senate primary is viewed as a test of his political clout in his home state as he likely gears up for a 2028 presidential run.

Muscle? Seriously? I didn’t know Pritzker had any muscle to flex… I do believe the part about tipping the scales, however – truthfully, he probably obliterated them… Here’s a visual for you – how about Pritzker and Chris Christie embark on an eating contest?

JB needs to be mindful of the folks in the community. He’ll find out that it’s not always about his beloved illegals, even though they are making up a larger percentage of cities across IL every year.

Think JB is worried about the CBC? Remember when Black Community Leaders were all upset about his wiretapped calls with Blago where JB said that Jesse White was the “least offensive” Black candidate to replace Obama as Senator?
JB had to grease a Lot of palms to smooth those ruffled feathers…

No one should vote for anyone that JB and Duckworth endorses.

Stratton needs to lose, enough of JB buying all the elections. (like the Illinois Supreme Court)
