During remarks at the Center for American Progress, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized President Trump for his handling of crises, notably during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pritzker accused Trump of prioritizing personal gain over public health, sharing a troubling anecdote about self-serving deals made in exchange for support. He also expressed concern about the state of American democracy, drawing parallels to Hungary's erosion of democratic institutions under Viktor Orban. Pritzker's remarks also included criticism of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his vote on a GOP spending bill.
He [Trump] could have fought for us. He really could have, during the early days of the pandemic... Instead, he made self-serving deals.
American democracy is at a dangerous point. It's similar to where Hungary was as Viktor Orban began to unwind institutions and chill free press.
