Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker poised to run for president in 2028, critics say

CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — Reports from both the Wall Street Journal and Politico this weekend are quoting sources that say Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is positioning to run for president in 2028.

Pritzker has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and has been headlining large events, including trips to Mexico and the United Kingdom.

Next week, he’ll deliver the keynote address at the New Hampshire Democratic Party fundraiser, the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner.

According to FOX News, New Hampshire holds the first primary race for the White House, and politicians traditionally make trips there as an early indication of their political aspirations.

New Hampshire Democratic Party chair Ray Buckley said Pritzker’s record in Illinois “is an example of why Democrats should govern all across this country – because they deliver.”

Pritzker has emerged as one of the Democrats’ most vocal opponents of President Donald Trump. He was under consideration to be former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024.

Pritzker has also done numerous interviews on national broadcasts since Trump was sworn in, increasing his visibility as one of Trump’s most vocal critics. 

The billionaire heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune also launched a pro-abortion organization, “Think Big America,” that provides funding for ballot measures in other states seeking to codify abortion access.

Publicly, Pritzker has said that he has not yet decided on whether he would seek a third term as Illinois governor.

DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick announced he was going to run for the Republican nomination in the March 2026 primary.
