is reportedly drawing White House speculation as Chicago prepares to host the 2024 Democratic convention.

"He’s got a very progressive agenda, but he’s also fiscally conservative.

Last month, Pritzker remarked on CBS’s"Face the Nation" that no"serious" Democrats will enter the 2024 primary ring with Biden, who has not formally announced a re-election bid. The comment came just a day after Democrat Marianne Williamson officially announced her candidacy.
