JB Pritzker: The Illinois governor, like Newsom in California, has positioned himself as someone willing to fight Trump. His battles with the Trump administration over immigration actions and the president’s attempted National Guard deployment to Chicago raised his national profile.

(One of his biggest applause lines at the party’s 2024 convention was that voters should “take it from an actual billionaire” that Trump was rich in only one thing: “stupidity.”) He has argued for increased taxes on the rich, but his wealth could be a liability at a time in which some in the party are casting billionaires as a political foils.
