DUKE: Pritzker’s Deep Pockets | The Daily Caller

Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. 

Today we’re covering a Democrat governor’s big money moves, a shooting near the White House, and the U.S.’ latest actions in the Strait of Hormuz. 

PRITZKER’S DEEP POCKETS

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is strategically dumping money into major Democratic committees and campaigns that signal deep interest in a 2028 presidential run, according to exclusive Daily Caller reporting. 

Pritzker has given six and seven-figure sums to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and also appears to be throwing his financial weight around key Democrats in what would be early primary states for a presidential contest. 

“It is notable that almost all of the House Democrats being financially backed by Pritzker either hold vulnerable seats in red states, are key allies of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or are senior lawmakers in early Democratic Party presidential primary states,” Daily Caller Senior Politics Editor Will Upton reported. 

The major donations, political strategists told the Caller, suggest Pritzker is trying to buy early support from Democratic leadership before he squares off against potential primary opponents like Govs. Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
