Pritzker Calls for Mass Protests Against GOP during New Hampshire Speech

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a forceful speech at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner, calling for mass protests, mobilization, and disruption against the Trump administration and Republican policies. Pritzker emphasized that Republicans 'cannot know a moment of peace' and urged Democrats to fight back both vocally and at the ballot box. He sharply criticized 'do-nothing Democrats' for their lack of boldness and blamed them for recent party losses, drawing a distinction between Democratic values and GOP actions. Pritzker's remarks positioned him as a leading voice of unyielding opposition within the party, in contrast to more moderate Democratic approaches. His appearance and rhetoric have fueled speculation about his potential ambitions for higher office in the 2028 presidential race. The speech resonated with activists who have been participating in widespread protests against Trump, reflecting a broader appetite among some Democrats for a more confrontational strategy.
