In a no-holds-barred speech at New Hampshire’s 100 Club Dinner, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker torched his own party, accusing top Democrats of lacking guts, chasing cable news fame, and throwing marginalized groups under the bus. Without naming names, Pritzker took veiled swipes at potential 2028 rivals like Gavin Newsom, who recently dismissed immigration and trans issues as “distractions.”

Pritzker, a billionaire and potential presidential hopeful, slammed “do-nothing Democrats” for blaming losses on progressive values instead of their own cowardice. He called for mass mobilization against both Trump and lukewarm Democrats, warning the party risks losing touch with real people. Mixing political fire with personal conviction, Pritzker invoked his Jewish heritage to blast Trump’s anti-immigrant policies and urged Dems to “punish cowards at the ballot box.”
