Jay Pritzker’s Rise is Yet Another Reminder of how Weak the Democrat’s Leadership Group Remains
The opposition to President Trump couldn’t more pathetic. While in the President’s first term he faced incompetent but still formidable political foes such as Nancy Pelosi, Trump new resistance is being led by New York Liberal Schumer, weak House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies, and incompetent state governors such as Jay Pritzker. Today’s Democratic party is devoid of both ideas or strong candidates, and the left’s search for the next generation of politicians to take on MAGA continues to get more desperate.
While the Republican party is filled with strong candidates who are ready to be the next generation of leaders such as JD Vance and Josh Hawley, the left continues to sink to new lows to find the new candidates to take on the MAGA movement. Two Democrats whose national profile has risen signfiicantly since the President easily won reelection are the incompeteant Governor of Illinois, Jay Pritzker, and congresswomen Jasmien Crockett of Texas. These individuals are emberassing, and the fact that the Democrats contiue to try elevate their status shows exactly what is wrong with the failing Democratic party. Crockett is a politican with no accomplishments who recently made fun of Governor Abbot for being handicapped, while Pritzker is an individual whose family bought him the Illinois’s governor position that also has no resume whatsoever.
The organized effort by the media and the Democrats to elevate Pritzker is a clear sign of both how desperate and pathetic the left is right now. Pritzker is the son of billionaire Penny Pritzker, who literally bought him his current position as Illinois Governor by grossly outspending his opponent in a state that has been solidly Democratic for decades. No Republican has won Illinois in a Presidential race since 1988. Pritzker is not a competent person or leader. The governor who got caught ignoring his own absurd protocols during COVID and has no substantive accomplishments in his position, gives absurd speeches on a weekly basis about how the country needs to fight and resist the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants and make sure biological men don’t play in women sports.
Pritzker even gave a recent speech calling for what he referred to as mass mobilization against Trump and his MAGA movement, and the failed governor doubled down on the need of a state that is spending hundreds of millions on illegal immigrants to resist the President’s efforts to deport people who are here unlawfully. While Trump inherited some money, the current President was a very successful businessman who also had a number of other successful financial ventures on television before running for office in 2016. Pritzker only won his political race in Illinois because of his family’s money, and his resume is very weak. The Illinois governor also would likely have little to no appeal to key Democratic constituencies such as the black community.
The idea that because Pritzker’s family has billion and he is from the Midwest the Governor would have the same appeal to working-call people that Trump and his MAGA movement do is completely and utterly absurd. The President cultivated support with working-class folks over the years by taking positions on issues such as trade and foreign wars that made sense for the country. The Democrats have no leadership or ideas, the Democratic party represents nobody and nothing. Most of the moderates in the party have almost no power and the leaders on the left like AOC and Sanders are completely out of touch with the nation, the Democrats have a clear leadership vacuum.
