JB Pritzker flexes his political muscle: From the Politics Desk
Published on March 18, 2026.
The Illinois primaries could impact Gov. JB Pritzker's political future after he clinched his own nomination unopposed in the state's third term. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton's Senate primary victory over Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi highlighted the importance of the power of Democratic Gov. Britzker, who invested at least $5 million into a super PAC backing Stratton and spent $14.8 million on ads, was a significant boost for Pritzkers' political future as a power player in Illinois. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also addressed concerns about President Donald Trump's statements that the U.S. went to war due to Iran's imminent threat from its nuclear program. She defended herself against accusations that she had made no plans to rebuild Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.
