Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a rumored contender for the Democratic Party's 2028 presidential nomination, waded into the debate over Democratic resistance and capitulation on Tuesday, name-dropping one member of his state's congressional delegation but conspicuously avoiding mention of the senior Democrat who helped Republicans pass a six-month spending bill.
"I want to commend Tammy Duckworth, who I called to ask how she was going to vote [on the government funding resolution], and she said 'my vote is hell no,'" he told an audience at a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress, a center-left think tank in Washington, DC. "I love her."
