Gov. Juliana Stratton launched her campaign for Dick Durbin&#8217;s U.S. Senate seat, was unopposed in the Democratic primary and is now seeking his third term as the governor of Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker&#8217;s national profile has grown as he has been one of President Trump&#8217;s most vocal critics. He used a campaign ad in March to highlight efforts to oppose the Trump Administration&#8217;s aggressive federal immigration crackdown in Chicago, known as Operation Midway Blitz, last fall.<\/p>\n<p>He spent some of his victory speech Tuesday night focused on the president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right now, grifters of corruption and selfishness, purveyors of bigotry and hatred, have taken control of the White House and Congress,&#8221; Pritzker said. &#8220;The Carnival Barker in Chief \u2013 sorry, the Commander in Thief \u2013 says there&#8217;s no federal money for health care and food assistance for families in need. But they had no trouble finding tens of millions of dollars to send masked troops with assault weapons onto the streets of Illinois to terrorize Americans. They&#8217;re shooting moms in the face. They shot a nurse in the back who was peacefully protesting. A teacher&#8217;s assistant was shot five times for honking her horn and yelling. These were all American citizens. And then something remarkable happened \u2013 even as other states capitulated to Donald Trump \u2013 the seemingly unstoppable force of Trump&#8217;s unrestrained power met the immovable object of Illinoisans&#8217; courage.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/video\/gov-jb-pritzker-speaks-after-primary-as-he-runs-for-3rd-governor-term\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Gov.
