Gov. J.B. Pritzker says he is impressed with the way North Carolina Democrats have focused on rural communities, but in Illinois, more than 30 counties in rural areas have voted to split or separate from the state.
The Illinois governor spoke Saturday at the North Carolina Democrats Unity Dinner on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Pritzker said North Carolina Democrats had a banner 2024, and he praised the state’s Democratic Party chair, Anderson Clayton.
“I am so inspired and I am impressed with the work you’ve done as chair over the last two years to focus on bringing rural communities and younger voters back into the forefront of the Democratic Party, right where they ought to be,” the governor said.
Pritzker told the crowd he attended Duke University in nearby Durham and worked for former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford.
Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi said the North Carolina Democrats don’t know Pritzker at all.
“He could never even think of delivering that speech without a round of boos here in Illinois. His visit to North Carolina assures one thing, that he’s only out after running for President in 2028 and he’s using the fine families and men and women of Illinois as a stepping stone for that purpose,” Salvi told The Center Square.
