J.B. Pritzker

Sources close to the governor told the Sun-Times that Ben Bergquam’s video has prompted additional concerns over Pritzker’s safety. The Illinois State Police Executive Protection Unit currently provides 24-hour security for the governor, his family and the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night told reporters that he would focus on sending the guard to another city and said he’s working with a governor “who would love us to be there.” The president has yet to announce which city he was referencing.

Hundreds of federal agents are being sent to a suburban naval base from Los Angeles, where an immigration blitz spurred protests that pushed President Trump to call in the National Guard. Trump has since threatened to send the Guard to Chicago while promising a crime crackdown and immigration arrests.

Teachers union President Stacy Davis Gates cited the failures of JB Pritzker and the Democratic Legislature after Pritzker said more Chicago Public Schools funding from Springfield is “just not going to happen.”

The signing comes after the Federal Emergency Management Agency joined at least three other federal agencies in canceling contracts with unions to comply with President Trump’s March executive order that stripped many federal workers of union protections.

Pritzker has been asked about his political future for years — and he’s always vowed Illinois was his first priority. But pressed by host Kristen Welker on whether he would completely rule out a presidential run, he offers a small glimpse.
