Pritzker Seeks Historic Third Term as Illinois Governor

News summary

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has officially launched his campaign for a third term, highlighting achievements such as balanced budgets, credit upgrades, and progressive policies including raising the minimum wage and protecting abortion rights. Pritzker has positioned himself as a chief opponent to President Donald Trump, vowing to defend Illinois against what he calls 'chaos and craziness' from Washington. His announcement comes amid ongoing speculation about a 2028 presidential run, but Pritzker has stated he remains focused on Illinois. Republican critics have accused him of raising taxes, using the state as a political stepping stone, and questioned whether he would complete a third term if re-elected. Illinois does not have gubernatorial term limits, and a third term would make Pritzker the first Democrat in state history to achieve this milestone. Pritzker has not confirmed any national ambitions, emphasizing his commitment to state progress.
