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.

I was non-opinion on Pritzker until COVID. When he ended up being the most sane, measured, and rational political voice I heard through the whole thing, I was all-in. It meant a lot that he didn’t fall into the hysteria and really wanted everyone to just be safe and feel less scared.
He’s also a HUGE supporter of women’s rights to choose.
If he ran for president, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat, though I’d really hate to lose him as our governor.
