Most politicians are excited to express their efforts in assisting with a campaign. But this Democrat is acting shady about it.
And major questions arise after a leading Leftist keeps the public in the dark about their role in the Harris campaign.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Vice Presidential Speculations: Unanswered Questions
Speculations continue to swirl around whether Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is being considered as a potential vice presidential candidate alongside Kamala Harris.
The political landscape shifted dramatically when President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would not seek reelection. Subsequently, he endorsed Vice President Harris as the nominee, sparking a wave of support from Democratic leaders, including Pritzker.
Reports surfaced earlier this week, listing Pritzker among other Democratic governors as possible candidate for the vice presidential slot. However, Pritzker’s response to these rumors has been cautious.
On Tuesday, Pritzker told MSNBC that he had not received any vetting materials.
The following day on CNN, he remained tight-lipped about private conversations, stating that he wouldn’t share anything from private discussions he’s had and if asked to be Harris’ VP it would be hard to not take that call.
The questions continued on Thursday in Chicago, where Pritzker faced further inquiries about his potential candidacy. He reiterated, “As I’ve said, I’m not going to talk about any conversations we’ve had.”
When asked if he had spoken with the campaign, Pritzker clarified his earlier statement, saying, “Sorry, I think the question was had I spoken with them in the last day, did I get a call, and the answer is no.”
Pritzker also noted that while he has not engaged with the campaign in the manner suggested, he knows people involved in the Harris campaign and is active in promoting its message.
The governor was directly questioned about whether he had been contacted about becoming vice president.
His response was consistent: “Again, I’m not going to talk about that. I can tell you that, like, I’m going to campaign.”
“Whatever happens in this process that I understand is going on, my job is to make sure that we win in November, so I’m going to work hard to do that as I have for, gosh, the last year and a half in this campaign.”
Chaos and Disorganization in the Democrat Party
With the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month, where the official candidates for president and vice president will be selected, the speculation surrounding Pritzker’s potential candidacy continues to be a topic of interest.
And even though Democrat voters are likely pleased that President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, they can’t help but be dismayed by the Democrat Party’s disorganization regarding picking a new presidential and vice presidential candidate.
The election is just a little over 3 months away now, and it’s still not 100% sure who will be on the top of the Democratic ticket this November.
Yes, it’ll most likely be Kamala Harris, but she hasn’t been officially nominated yet.
Donald Trump and his campaign can breathe a sigh of relief that their ticket has been finalized as they head into a critical campaigning season this election cycle.
They can show voters that their campaign has it all together while Harris and her Leftist pals scramble to get everything finalized for theirs.
