Abstract

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has worked tirelessly to bring the Democratic National Convention to Chicago, showcasing the city and raising his own national profile. However, the convention has shifted focus to Vice President Kamala Harris, leaving Pritzker in a supporting role. Despite this, Pritzker is widely believed to have ambitions for higher office in the future. His immense wealth, derived from the Pritzker family fortune, may pose challenges for him within the Democratic Party, which aligns itself with the working class. Nonetheless, Pritzker has been successful as governor, championing progressive causes and attracting investments to Illinois. He is currently focused on supporting Harris and hosting the convention.
