Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has not denied being asked to submit paperwork to be vetted as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate. During an interview with Jake Tapper on Wednesday, Governor Pritzker mentioned that 'it’d be hard to resist a call' to join Harris on the Democratic ticket. While he declined to discuss private conversations, he emphasized his efforts in advocating for Kamala Harris and the Democratic ticket across the country to ensure victory over Donald Trump.
This statement represents a change from Governor Pritzker's response in a previous interview on MSNBC, where he stated that he had not been requested to submit paperwork for vetting by the Harris campaign. The Governor's willingness to consider the opportunity to run alongside Vice President Harris reflects his commitment to supporting the Democratic Party's efforts in the upcoming election.
