- Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) ruled out a 2024 run and heartily endorsed President Joe Biden for the Democratic Party’s nomination Sunday.
- A rising star within progressive circles, the billionaire governor was subject to speculation that he could serve as a last-ditch backup for Democrats should Biden decide not to run.
- “No, I’m supporting Joe Biden. He’s running for reelection, and he’s gonna get reelected. I’m just happy that people think of me in that way. That’s certainly very flattering, but I intend to serve out my term as governor of Illinois,” Pritzker told CBS’s Face the Nation.
