Governor JD Pritzker Illinois

Incumbent Democratic Gubernatorial Races In 2026 And Potential Of Democratic Gubernatorial Presidential Nominee In 2028!

Ronald 5 Comments

Many Democratic Governors are seeking reelection, and are in good shape to win in November 2026.

This includes the following Incumbent Governors:

Arizona–Katie Hobbs
Connecticut–Ned Lamont
Hawaii–Josh Green
Illinois–JD Pritzker
Maryland–Wes Moore
Massachusetts–Maura Healey
New York–Kathy Hochul
Oregon–Tina Kotek
Pennsylvania–Josh Shapiro
Rhode Island–Dan McKee

Included in the above list are three Governors who are perceived as likely Presidential contenders for the Democratic Party in 2028—JD Pritzker, Wes Moore, and Josh Shapiro.

Three “retiring” Democratic Governors are also seen as likely to be Presidential contenders:

California—Gavin Newsom
Colorado—Jared Polis
Michigan—Gretchen Whitmer

There certainly is no lack of qualified and competent Governors in the Democratic Party, and the odds that a sitting or former Governor might be the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2028 is quite high!

September: A Month Of Reckoning For Donald Trump!

Ronald 46 Comments

As the nation enters the month of September, President Donald Trump faces a month of reckoning.

Trump seems determined to intervene militarily with the National Guard in Chicago, and the Mayor, Brandon Johnson, and the Illinois Governor, JD Pritzker, are determined to prevent what has happened in Washington DC to occur in their city and state or any other state.

Trump’s tariffs have been challenged in court, and the issue of Presidential power to impose tariffs, which have alienated our allies and our rivals around the world, is moving toward the US Supreme Court.

The Democrats, although not in power in either house of Congress, are on the road to prevention of agreeing to a budget, which is due by the end of September, so we could have a major confrontation with Trump regarding his abuses of power, including his insistence on refusing to spend budget money that Congress has passed for foreign aid and other programs.

And finally, the Epstein Scandal is coming to central casting, wanting to know the truth about Trump’s involvement, but likely not being able to gain the facts about that scandal!
