Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker (D) flagged one takeaway that would spell dangerous information for the GOP after Donald Trump’s comfy victory within the Iowa caucuses on Monday.
Pritzker, in an interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, famous that “almost half” of the Republican Party’s base confirmed as much as vote towards the previous president. Trump, as of early Tuesday morning, acquired 51% of the vote.
“I mean, this is the most famous Republican. He’s the guy who, you know, basically built the modern Republican Party, the MAGA Republican Party that the Democrats are running against and half the people in that party didn’t vote for Donald Trump,” he stated.
The Illinois governor added that the outcomes, which present an amazing win by the GOP front-runner who faces 91 felony fees over 4 felony circumstances, had been “telling.”
“It tells you the weakness of Donald Trump and also the opportunity for Democrats, ’cause in the end, look, if the base doesn’t turn out for Donald Trump in the general election enthusiastically, and Democrats turn out its base, this is all about, you know, independents and independents don’t like Donald Trump,” stated Pritzker, a Biden marketing campaign surrogate.
“So, I think we’re in a pretty good place tonight to see what’s happening on the Republican side.”
Pritzker, who has knocked Trump on numerous events, added that the race might be “over” if the previous president wins in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
“But the truth is all of these candidates are running as sort of mini-me Trump Republicans,” he stated of the 2024 GOP presidential subject.
“They all have exactly the position that you mentioned earlier, six-week ban on abortion, they want a national abortion ban, the Republican Party is standing against working families and Donald Trump is representative of, I think, everything that is wrong with the current environment in politics.”
