JB Pritzker of Illinois strode into a ballroom filled with top New Hampshire Democrats on Sunday and by the end of his nearly 30-minute speech had them ready to storm the political barricades against President Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s time to fight everywhere and all at once,\u201d he told the group of Democratic activists, officials and donors, who jumped to their feet with hoots and applause. \u201cNever before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe reckoning is finally here,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For the Trump administration, of course, but also for his own party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the fight over the future of the Democratic Party, Mr. Pritzker has emerged as a leader of an insurgent faction calling for a full-throated, unflinching barrage of attacks on Mr. Trump, his Republican allies and their right-wing agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His speech was a call to action more aggressive and comprehensive than perhaps any other by a major liberal figure since Mr. Trump took office, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/16\/us\/politics\/bernie-sanders-aoc-trump-democrats.html\" title=\"\">rivaled only<\/a> by rallying cries from Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on their Western tour. But unlike them, Mr. Pritzker set his stem-winding address in a state with a century-long hold on the nation\u2019s first presidential primary contest \u2014 a striking statement on its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Pritzker, of course, rebuffed any suggestion that his appearance on Sunday night in Manchester, N.H., represented the opening bell of the 2028 Democratic primary race. He said he was focused on backing the party\u2019s efforts in next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet his appearance was likely to stir more speculation. Mr. Pritzker wears a triple crown in Democratic politics, simultaneously one of the party\u2019s most prominent elected officials, most generous donors and most talked about 2028 presidential prospects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m one of the people leading the fight, and that is my role,\u201d he said in an interview before his speech. \u201cWe\u2019ve done an awful lot in Illinois, and we can be doing those things in other states.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While other governors <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/12\/us\/politics\/gretchen-whitmer-trump-democrats.html\" title=\"\">have made ham-handed attempts at reconciliation<\/a> with Mr. Trump, Mr. Pritzker has turned his state into a bulwark of opposition to the administration\u2019s crackdown on immigration, cuts to the federal government and tariffs on other countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has done so as some congressional Democrats, including Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, have urged their party to be selective with their attacks against the president to avoid alienating independent voters who supported him. Mr. Pritzker, by contrast, wants his party to adopt a posture of zero accommodation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe main divide within the Democratic Party is not between left and right \u2014 it\u2019s whether you think this is a constitutional crisis or this is politics as usual,\u201d said Ezra Levin, a co-founder of the progressive activist group Indivisible. \u201cPritzker is really demonstrating what it looks like to lead an opposition party against the overreaching authority of the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In recent months, Mr. Pritzker has preached a gospel of staunch resistance to some of the most engaged Democratic activists across the country, delivering the keynote speech at a party fund-raiser in Austin, Ill., and at an annual gala for the Human Rights Campaign in Los Angeles. Next month, he is set to speak at a fund-raising dinner in Detroit for the Michigan Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his speech in New Hampshire, he criticized Democrats who have admonished the party for its perceived overreach as \u201ctimid, not bold.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFellow Democrats, for far too long we\u2019ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America\u2019s house is not on fire, even as the flames are licking their faces,\u201d he said. \u201cToday, as the blaze reaches the rafters, the pundits and politicians \u2014 whose simpering timidity served as kindle for the arsonists \u2014 urge us now not to reach for a hose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While his targets went unnamed, there were obvious candidates: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, the host of a podcast that has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/12\/us\/politics\/gavin-newsom-podcast-steve-bannon.html\" title=\"\">featured stars<\/a> of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/06\/us\/politics\/gavin-newsom-transgender-sports-democrats.html\" title=\"\">MAGA movement<\/a>, and the Democratic strategist James Carville, who has argued for \u201ca strategic political retreat\u201d until Mr. Trump\u2019s approval ratings fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThose same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on our defense of Black people and trans kids and immigrants,\u201d Mr. Pritzker said, \u201cinstead of their own lack of guts and gumption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His comments reflected how, for now, Democrats are chiefly divided not over health care or other policy issues, but <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/18\/us\/politics\/democrats-trump-agenda-policies.html\" title=\"\">over the extent to which they should oppose Mr. Trump<\/a> and his agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While some party donors and consultants have urged moderation, Mr. Pritzker is tapping into the Democratic base\u2019s visceral desire for a fight \u2014 and for a leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cVoters didn\u2019t turn out for Democrats last November \u2014 not because they don\u2019t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don\u2019t want to fight for our values,\u201d he said in his speech. \u201cWe need to knock off the rust of poll-tested language, decades of stale decorum. It\u2019s obscured our better instincts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Neera Tanden, the president of the left-leaning think tank the Center for American Progress and a longtime fixture in Democratic politics, predicted that these early months of the Trump administration could reverberate into the 2028 primary contest. Voters, she said, won\u2019t forget how potential presidential candidates behaved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople are going to remember how Democrats acted in this moment,\u201d said Ms. Tanden, whose group hosted Mr. Pritzker this year. \u201cAt the moment when Trump was the scariest, what did Democrats do? Did they roll over? Make inroads to right-wing people or something? Or did they stand up and defend our principles?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune with a net worth estimated around $3.5 billion, Mr. Pritzker is one of the richest elected officials in the country \u2014 a position that has given him a measure of political independence because he is not as reliant on party donors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2018, he transformed himself from a longtime donor who was a major funder of Hillary Clinton\u2019s two presidential campaigns into a formidable politician in his own right. He has self-funded two campaigns for governor and spread his wealth to support Democratic candidates for governor and the state parties in battlegrounds \u2014 Wisconsin in particular.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2023, as he expanded his political brand, Mr. Pritzker established a political action committee called Think Big America, which spent millions of dollars backing ballot measures seeking to enshrine abortion rights into state law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even before President Joseph R. Biden Jr.\u2019s disastrous debate performance last year, Mr. Pritzker <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/18\/us\/politics\/pritzker-democratic-convention.html\" title=\"\">was talked about as the Democrats\u2019 \u201cbreak glass\u201d nominee<\/a> \u2014 a candidate able to fund a White House campaign at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/18\/us\/politics\/pritzker-democratic-convention.html\" title=\"\">threw his party a joyous convention<\/a> in Chicago, even commissioning for the event <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/2024-democratic-national-convention\/2024\/08\/09\/jb-pritzker-jbeer-two-chicago-craft-beers-democratic-national-convention\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">his own JBeers<\/a> \u2014 craft brews bearing his initials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Unlike 2024, the 2028 Democratic primary contest is expected to be crowded and wide open, with little deference for seniority or political experience. As the early jockeying <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/15\/us\/politics\/democrats-president-2028-buttigieg-newsom-walz.html\" title=\"\">quietly gets underway<\/a>, some Democrats believe Mr. Pritzker could be a fierce contender with his billions and his deep party connections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">First, however, he faces a 2026 campaign for a third term as governor of Illinois. While he has made no official commitment, he is widely expected to run for re-election. The strength of his political power will also be tested in the Illinois Senate race, in which he has endorsed his lieutenant governor \u2014 who is expected to face several well-funded Democratic primary opponents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">People close to the governor say his current moves are driven not by a desire to position himself best in 2028, but by a sincere belief that Mr. Trump poses a dire threat to American democracy and the world order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s crafting a persona around this,\u201d said Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, a friend of Mr. Pritzker\u2019s who was the Democratic vice-presidential nominee last year. \u201cOn some of the more authoritarian tendencies, I think JB feels very strongly on that. He finds it morally reprehensible, I think, where Trump ends up falling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Unlike other Democrats, who went through a period of mourning after the election, Mr. Pritzker was ready to fight Mr. Trump almost immediately. As worrisome results from Virginia began rolling into cable news networks early on election night, he shifted into battle mode for what he called Trump 2.0, according to a person briefed on the discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two days after the election, Mr. Pritzker told reporters that his administration \u201cwas not unprepared\u201d for a Trump victory. The planning had begun months earlier as his state stockpiled abortion medication and prepared to sue the federal government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And he issued a warning: \u201cYou come for my people, you come through me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aides and advisers trace Mr. Pritzker\u2019s activism to his family history and Jewish faith. His ancestors fled pogroms in Ukraine to make their fortune in the United States. He led the campaign to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and has for years invoked the specter of Nazism to describe Mr. Trump \u2014 a political comparison that has divided some of his advisers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing right now is 1930s Germany; the only way to actually stop that from happening is to be very loud and vocal about the pushback,\u201d said Anne Caprara, Mr. Pritzker\u2019s longtime chief of staff. \u201cThat is what is motivating everything he is doing right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/27\/us\/politics\/jb-pritzker-2028-new-hampshire-trump-democrats.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
