**Pritzker** met with researchers of University of Illinois, who soon would be out of work, with their lab set to be closed next month.
>“My husband sometimes shows me videos of you talking, this was the first thing that gave me hope — that someone is speaking out. Somebody is defending us.”
– Aline Delpomdor, a research specialist at the university’s Soybean Innovation Lab
Pritzker might seem like an unlikely champion for people who were affected by 2nd Trump adminstration, but, he was taking aim on Trump’s tax cuts, as well as backing universal healthcare and higher minimum wage.
He had used a statewide tour past week to present a strategy for national Democrats to counter Trump, highlighting his effects of Trump’s early actions in Illinois. He also had met with farmers in a central Illinois barn for agriculture talks, and other adults in suburbs Chicago who were concerned about Social Security cuts.
>“How do you play a role when you don’t have a vote?”
It’s hopefully reminding people who we are as a country, in a moment when I think people haven’t really stepped back and thought enough about democracy and our history — reminding people of that, using the bully pulpit to talk about that and then rallying the troops.”
