Don't steal our governor! Thank you, JB, for all you've done for Illinois!

[ziziroberts]

Pritzker is needed at the state level, like Whitmer and Newsom.

I'm a American not Chinese or russian ..I'm not living under a iron fist ..for no one

[cbrillantes]

I highly respect and grateful for Pres. Biden. Now that he paved the way and passing the torch, I am supportive of his decision. 200% behind VP Harris. I voted for her for California senator and will definitely vote for her for President!

I wonder how many trolls are MAGA, and how many are Russian. Or, are they the same thing?

Chicago is the best place in the country during summer ❤

[paulbraga]

the trump call for unity lasted about a minute...blessings to all

[brothertaro]

If you care about reproductive rights, voting rights, environmental protections, gun safety, healthcare, America's strategic alliances around the world, and much more, VOTE BLUE. (And don't forget that Biden's record on jobs is way better than that of the last 3 Republican presidents combined.)

LoLed at "mini-me JD Vance."

[marcroy]

"His mini-me JD Vance". Well said.

[awtodor]

JB is a great governor and has been great post Dobbs. Just a stalwart for ensuring the rights for the people of Illinois.

[phoenixhenson]

He's really good I wouldnt mind seeing him as a VP to Kamala 🔥

[stratman]

J.D. Pritzer is correct, it is hard to find a city any better than Chicago in the late spring, summer, and fall. Of course, winter is a different story! I now live in Atlanta, so that might tell you a bit about those winters. LOL!

I’m a childless cat man and proud of it

[kiwiitmlm]

Kamala the right person for the moment ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😅👍👍💯🇺🇸 for DEMOCRACY

[CaneFu]

This is my Illinois Governor and we love this guy!

[SwisstedChef]

Great man, as a Hotelier I admire the Pritzker family

[brentmason]

Cat man here…I’ll say this I love dogs too! But you have to work for and prove to cats they you are worthy of their lives being reciprocated! Dogs just follow the smell of food and stay blindly obedient to the person who can open the can…I see a lot of Trump supporters who fall into to category! The Bible and Jesus say love is the path to Heaven! You don’t get to only love those who are just like you and hate those people who aren’t! Republicans seem to “want it both ways!” “You can’t have your cake AND eat it too!” Love is not judgmental or selfish or condemning…That’s all I hear from that party…it’s becoming the party of HATE!!!

I worry about the maga’s voter suppression laws
