WASHINGTON — Gov. J.B. Pritzker is camping out in Des Moines on Monday, as Iowa Republicans hold the first-in-the nation vote to pick their 2024 presidential nominee.
As a top surrogate for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Pritzker is part of a planned Democratic media blitz to elbow into Iowa GOP caucus coverage that otherwise would be just about the frontrunner, former President Donald Trump and, according to polls, the race for second place between Trump’s ex-United Nations ambassador, Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor; and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
