Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker sailed to re-election Tuesday but in a triumphant victory speech, sounded more like a candidate for president with the clarion call, 'Are you ready to fight?' in warning against extremism and former President Donald Trump’s 'treasonous insurrection.'
"The billionaire progressive Democrat and Hyatt Hotel heir called himself a ‘warrior’ ready to take on former Republican President Donald Trump and Trump allies in the years ahead," The Chicago Tribune reported.
Pritzker, 57, a billionaire equity investor and philanthropist, pounded the airwaves with ads labeling Bailey as "too extreme" on issues such as abortion, which he opposes except in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother and access to guns.Gov. J.B. Pritzker and other state democrats celebrated a successful election night in news conferences Wednesday morning.
Pritzker reportedly had previously said he would serve the entire four years if reelected and support Joe Biden for reelection in 2024.
