On Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker dined with the Swiss ambassador to the U.S. and the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland.Pritzker said he spent roughly two hours talking about opportunities to build on those new connections.
“As you can imagine, you collect cards and take notes,” said Pritzker, who added he is having “important conversations with world leaders and putting Illinois as a major player on the world stage.” “Our largest industry in Illinois, arguably, is the agriculture industry,” Pritzker said, “and here at Davos, there are quite a number of companies that are focused on both enhancing agricultural output, as well as applying green principles to it. There’s a lot of talk here about quantum. That’s something I’ve been focused on since Day 1 in office.”
Pritzker’s invitation to and attendance at the elite conference has again raised speculation that the billionaire Democrat is eyeing a political platform beyond Illinois’ borders, including a run for the presidency.reported Thursday that he was “overheard … talking at high volume in the central lounge of the Congress Center about his future political career, including a possible White House bid.”
Among those challenges: a series of lawsuits seeking to strike down the assault weapons ban law he signed last week. An Effingham judge is expected to make a ruling by Friday on one such suit, filed by former GOP nominee for attorney general Tom DeVore, that requests a temporary restraining order be used to keep the law from taking effect.
Figured he would show up at the POS conference.
Going 30 years forward, he could just add the other 20 necessary (as always, since time immemorial) to secure nuclear fusion 🤡🤣
