I don’t love the fact that he’s a billionaire.
I do respect the fact that he seems to be a competent governor who actually tries to do right by the people of Illinois.
He made a lot of smart moves during the early stages of the pandemic and he actually managed to balance the state budget; which for Illinois is not a small feat.
I’m honestly surprised Pritzker hasn’t had a higher profile within the Democratic party.
I do think he was the better pick as a running mate for Harris than Pritzker, though, as he’s much more of an everyman. I don’t think a billionaire would have been as popular even if he actually is a decent one (as far as billionaires go, I guess)
JB Pritzker, Illinois governor. The fascists hate him.

As an Illinois native, I’m kind of glad he’s “unknown” - I selfishly want him to stay governor
I just watched a video of my governor, Tim Walz, going off on Trump’s gang. I can’t tell you how much I wish he was the VP.
Love that guy (and your state)!

Not just a billionaire; Pritzker is America’s richest politican.Outdated info
He was when he took the job. Far from the richest now…
Who is the richest sitting American politican?
Our current president.
Yes, Musk.
He was on the short list to run as VP with Harris, fwiw.
That makes it even better. Thanks for the info!
I seriously thought it was Oliver Platt. I didn’t know the actor’s name before looking it up just now.
