How JB Pritzker’s decision to present itself to re -election could have an impact on its 2028 aspirations

Analysis of Natasha Korecki

On the south side of Chicago, JB Pritzker, who has emerged as an eminent The national voice of resistance to President Donald Trump announced today that he was running – For a third term as governor of Illinois.

It is not a secret that Pritzker has the ambitions of the White House, with its frequent interviews by cable, political Investments in the national battlefields And Visits to States likely to be early in a presidential primary calendar.

Appearing on the ballot in November 2026 does not prevent him from presenting himself to the presidency. But that pushes Pritzker in a potentially precarious position while other Democrats begin to dive their toes into the waters of 2028.

While the safe field accumulates, Pritzker, Pritzker, will be put in one of the most blue states of the nation. As he does, he will have to answer if he plans to stay during the four years of his state job. If he is re -elected, he will have to wait for a required time before moving in white house mode. By then, will a newcomer capture democratic energy? Will potential adversaries get a step ahead of the organization and define it?

GOP Governor Ron Desantis found himself in this situation when he asked for the first time in Florida in 2022 before announcing an offer in 2024. When Desantis entered the race, Trump had already taken foot in the competition.

Of course, the dynamics of the Democrats heading around 2028 is clearly different from that of the GOP primary which presented a former president who led one of the greatest movements of modern politics.

But already, the former mayor of Chicago and former chief of staff of the white room Rahm Emanuel – originally from the state of Pritzker – is openly exploring a presidential offer. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., spent months Draw progressive crowds On the road with Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT. Democratic governors such as Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer, who are bound by mandate limits and who will be absent at the beginning of 2027, will be free to start building organizations and collecting funds for potential White House.

Pritzker would be far from being the first politician who held his duties when he presented himself to the presidency. And as a billionaire who financed his own campaigns, he is only located to switch to a national posture.

A veteran’s political and pritzker political operator said that the presentation of a national position was held as a state office could be an asset.

“I see it completely opposite. You better run with the platform as governor of Illinois,” said this person. “This is his third term, and therefore he can walk and chew gum. He can make events as governor of Illinois. And we know that 50% of JB will make a better governor than anyone else there. I do not see it as a problematic or complicated distance at all. ”

But as another Democratic strategist told us earlier this week: “The minute JB announces that it takes place, JB would have come out of the presidential conversation from June 2025 to November 2026. Do you really want to yield the field for a year and five months?”

Tomorrow promises to be a big day at the Supreme Court
