CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will headline a major Democratic fundraiser in New Hampshire on Sunday as the potential 2028 presidential contender builds his national profile and positions himself as a leading voice opposing President Donald Trump.
Pritzker has given several high-profile speeches this year criticizing Trump, but the keynote address at the New Hampshire Democratic Partys McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner could be the most prominent. The annual event stands out among state Democratic fundraisers thanks to New Hampshires role in holding the nations first presidential primary.
Pritzker will address rising authoritarianism and the need for Democrats to fight back, according to a statement from his spokesperson, Jordan Abudayyeh. The second-term governor has yet to say whether he will run for that office again in 2026, but the billionaire Hyatt heir has been laying the groundwork for a potential presidential campaign for years.
Pritzker drew national attention in February when he used part of his joint budget and State of the State address to argue for a parallel between Trumps rhetoric and the rise of Nazi Germany. Since then, the governor has spoken at the Human Right Campaigns Los Angeles dinner and is scheduled to headline a Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party dinner in June.

Capitalism is extracting more from the working classes than they can earn. Pritzker would be an ideal person to promote alternatives, starting with tax reform on the wealthy.
