WATCH: Pritzker alleges Trump election interference; tells disgruntled residents to move
(The Center Square) – In today’s edition of Illinois in Focus Daily, The Center Square Editor Greg Bishop shares where there appears to be common ground between the Trump administration and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on public safety as both say there needs to be more law enforcement officers. But Pritzker alleged without evidence that President Donald Trump’s push for using the National Guard for public safety is an attempt to interfere with the 2026 election.
Bishop also shares comments Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker made about sentiments across the state to split the state in two. He said if people don’t want to make the state better, they can move. New Illinois Chairman G.H. Merritt reacts and said the governor doesn’t understand what’s behind the movement, saying he won’t listen and doesn’t care.
