Illinois’ Democratic Governor JB Pritzker delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention where he celebrated Vice President Kamala Harris’ record in office and criticized former President Donald Trump. Pritzker highlighted Trump’s claims about the economy, stating that Trump's wealth only reflects his 'stupidity' rather than true economic prowess.
Pritzker, a billionaire and progressive governor, was re-elected in 2022 with a significant margin of victory. He has been a vocal advocate for various Democratic priorities, including gun control and reproductive rights.
As the heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, Pritzker has used his platform to address key issues important to the Democratic Party. His remarks at the convention underscored his support for Vice President Harris and his opposition to the policies of former President Trump.
