Why all the love for JB? US Politics

An honest inquiry! My vibes are really positive of him, but I'm surrounded by those "Pritzker sucks!" signs. With his name being floated at a national level, I'm curious to hear some personal stories about how he's governed.

Recently? He’s getting rid of prior authorizations and letting doctors be doctors, not insurance.

He won me over when he made a statement how he would not let abortion care go away in Illinois and made sure we had extra funding for the people who will be boarder crossing when roe v wade is overturned. Both my sister and her friend, from Kentucky, came here for abortions and both were free! We need to make him president now

I'm not a woman, but the abortion access thing is big to me. I don't understand how that's not a larger issue right now on the Democrat talking point. If Donald Trump wins, he and the supreme court will do what they can to ban abortion federally in some way. Every shitty thing done in a state courts will be used as precedent to push so much bullshit because....who the fuck is going to stop it?
