Speaking at a dinner for New Hampshire Democrats that is usually reserved for those about to run for president, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker was sounding like a 2028 presidential candidate Sunday night. Pritzker said he has never before called for mass protests and disruption, but the Trump White House has taken him there.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, called for protests, saying Republicans must "understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called out "do-nothing Democrats" in a speech on Sunday night and offered a contrasting viewpoint to California Governor Gavin Newsom, as the potential rivals lay the ground for 2028.
