Kimmel: Governor JB Pritzker on Trump Insulting Him, Urging Democrats to Fight & Possible Presidential Run



Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on his recent speech in New Hampshire that got a very big reaction from both Democrats and Republicans, whether or not he’s planning to run for President, saying that it’s time to fight everywhere, meeting Trump after he was elected Governor in 2018, Trump killing the economy while taking money for himself, Trump insulting him, and since we know Trump will inevitably give JB a terrible nickname - Jimmy helps JB come up with some options for him.

I forgot that he was scheduled to appear tonight so when it ran across my feed I came here to post it. I'm also impressed with the governor so if he decides to jump into the race then I suspect that he will be among my top choices.

the bit about the nicknames is hilarious. u can tell he’s enjoying himself.
that kind of self deprecating sense of humor is sorely lacking in our electeds.
