"My great fear, of course, is that with the release of that information, which I think will be devastating for Trump, he's going to do everything in his power to distract,"
"What does that mean? I mean, he might take us to war with Venezuela just to get a distraction in the news and take it out of the headlines."
"I've been on team fight from the very beginning," Pritzker said. "And I don't appreciate when we've got Democrats who are caving in and doing basically what the Trump administration wants."
"We were winning," said Pritzker, pointing to resounding Democratic wins in elections across the country last week. "I do not understand why people caved when we were on the verge of getting real change."
Governor J.B. Pritzker fears President Trump could respond to damaging documents linking him to Jeffrey Epstein by seeking major distractions, including possible military action in Venezuela. Pritzker criticizes seven Democratic senators and one independent who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown as making an enormous mistake that played into Trump's hands. Pritzker declines calls for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to step aside and instead faults the individual senators who supported the deal, including Sen. Dick Durbin. Pritzker has been a fierce critic of Trump since the reelection and is viewed as a potential 2028 contender and Hyatt heir.
