There is power in saying out loud the story of Illinois is not set in stone. We can rewrite it when we choose, and we should feel justifiably proud of where we come from and where we are trying to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker also positioned himself in stark contrast to President Trump and the his administration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have big challenges ahead, and while it is certainly tempting to lay all of it at the feet of the megalomaniac narcissist in the White House, and his malignant clown car in Congress, the hard truth is we all share some of the blame. For too long, politicians have chosen what is safe over what is bold. It&#8217;s time to take our cues from the young people, showing up and shouting out that you can&#8217;t abandon the fight before you even get started,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker was first elected to office in 2018, defeating incumbent Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. In 2022, Pritzker won a second term in office,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/illinois-election-governor-jb-pritzker-wins-darren-bailey\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">defeating Republican Darren Bailey.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There has been speculation in recent months\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/illinois-gov-jb-pritzker-speaks-new-hampshire\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">that he might run for president<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in 2028, particularly following a speech in April in which he took to task both President Trump and the shortcomings within his own Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker has been one of the most outspoken critics of President Trump.\u00a0 Most recently, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/jb-pritzker-testifies-congress-illinois-sanctuary-laws-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Pritzker called Trump&#8217;s immigration policies<\/a><\/span> an &#8220;abuse of power.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will not participate in abuses of power,&#8221; Pritzker said after the Trump administration deployed the National Guard during anti-ICE protests in LA. &#8220;We will not violate court orders. We will not ignore the Constitution. We will not defy the Supreme Court. We will not take away people&#8217;s right to peacefully protest. We also respect and expect this administration to respect the traditions and legal precedents that dictate how and when our National Guard and military are deployed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker on Thursday declined to commit to serving his entire term if he&#8217;s re-elected, or to say if he plans to run for president in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m running for governor today because I want to be governor of Illinois. I have worked hard to get our state moving forward, and we have yet more to do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Everything that I do, truly everything that I do in my job and every day when I wake up is about improving the lot of people who live in the state of Illinois, lifting up the working families of Illinois. Whatever I do going forward is going to be about that<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his formal campaign announcement in Chicago on Thursday morning, Pritzker is scheduled to hold campaign events later Thursday in Rockford, Peoria, and Springfield. He will make additional campaign stops Friday in Belleville and West Frankfort.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker has yet to announce a running mate for his re-election campaign. Sitting Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton was at the governor&#8217;s event to support him on Thursday, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/illinois-lieutenant-governor-juliana-stratton-senate-run\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">but will be running for the U.S. Senate in 2026<\/a><\/span>, after Sen. Dick Durbin announced earlier this year he will not be running for re-election.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, Republican DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick also has announced a bid for governor, as has Joseph Severino, who ran for Congress against U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider as a Republican in 2022 and as an independent write-in candidate in 2024. South suburban mechanic Phillip Perez also has announced an independent campaign for governor.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/elyssa-kaufman\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Elyssa  Kaufman<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Elyssa is a digital news producer for CBS Chicago.
