Pritzker, Newsom Boost Profiles Ahead of 2024

July 25, 2022 · 7:28 am ET · Leave a Comment

Wall Street Journal: “Two prominent Democratic governors are expanding their national profile with political activity outside of their home states, moves that come as many Democratic voters look for alternatives to President Biden as the party standard-bearer in 2024.”

“Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat running for re-election this year, has spent time away from his home state to rally Democrats in Maine, New Hampshire and most recently Florida, where he gave the keynote address at an annual party gala last week.”

“California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier this month went on the airwaves in the state to attack Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, himself a potential presidential contender in 2024. Messrs. Newsom and Pritzker have said they wouldn’t challenge Mr. Biden. Mr. Pritzker’s aides have said his political travel is meant to support gubernatorial candidates.”
