Gov. JB Pritzker, who also is a potential 2028 White House contender, said Democrats nationally who are still lamenting last year’s presidential outcome should move forward.

Illinois Democrats say their party will win across the United States in 2026, with the Land of Lincoln serving as the blueprint. Gov. J.B. Pritzker spoke at the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch Wednesday morning before hosting Governor’s Day on the Lawn at the Illinois State Fair in the afternoon.
