JB Pritzker on How the Trump Era Ends | The Interview

विवरण

Correction: After this interview was published, Gov. Pritzker clarified that he was a donor to AIPAC but was never on the board. During his two terms as the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker has become a national figure in the Democratic Party and one of Donald Trump’s main antagonists, at one point telling the president to “[expletive] all the way off.” That combativeness has created a narrative around Pritzker — whose sister, Penny, was secretary of commerce under President Barack Obama — as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, even if he’s not saying that yet as he runs for a rare third gubernatorial term. Pritzker’s rise is interesting for a few reasons. As a member of one of America’s wealthiest families (his uncle founded Hyatt Hotels), Pritzker is a billionaire at a time when anti-billionaire sentiment is ascendant on the left. And as a longtime Jewish supporter of Israel, though very critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pritzker is not exactly in sync with the current direction of his party. “The Interview” host Lulu Garcia-Navarro wanted to understand how he’s navigating those potential tensions; how his family’s background, including two formative tragedies, have shaped him and where he sees his party, and the country, going from here. “The Interview” features conversations with the world’s most fascinating people. Each week, co-hosts David Marchese and Lulu Garcia-Navarro talk to compelling, influential figures in culture, politics, business, sports and beyond — illuminating who they are, why they do what they do and how they impact the rest of us.
