Govs. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill. and Jared Polis, D-Colo., have formed a coalition of fellow state-level executives to resist "increasing threats of autocracy" and potential power grabs by a second Donald Trump administration. Members of the new "Governors Safeguarding Democracy" will harness their collective powers to "catalyze collaboration across state lines," Pritzker said in a call with journalists reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
“It’s built off a model that all of us governors have already successfully pioneered through the Reproductive Freedom Alliance,” he said. “And together, what we’re doing is pushing back against increasing threats of autocracy and fortifying the institutions of democracy that our country and our states depend on.”
