Pritzker Criticizes Trump at DNC in Chicago

At the Democratic National Convention, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire, mocked former President Donald Trump, calling him 'rich in only one thing: stupidity,' while highlighting his own economic achievements and criticizing GOP policies. This came right after Senator Bernie Sanders condemned the 'billionaire class' and advocated for an economy benefiting everyone, not just the wealthy. The juxtaposition of Pritzker's speech following Sanders' anti-billionaire rhetoric led to a discussion among commentators about the Democratic Party's broad spectrum. Pritzker also ridiculed Trump for being out of touch with everyday Americans and criticized Republican policies as harmful and discriminatory. Despite Pritzker's inherited wealth, his remarks aligned him with the working-class struggles Sanders highlighted.
