JB Pritzker, a Democrat, could use President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Chicago as an opportunity to raise his national profile ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run, the Washington Examiner reported. "If Pritzker's politically smart, he will use any sending of National Guard into Chicago to his advantage, pushing back, and using the media that [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom has," Henry Olsen, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, told the Examiner. Political strategist Jeff Le said Pritzker may be able to show off his political prowess on the big stage. Pritzker has made efforts to position himself as a future national candidate through his remarks and challenges to the president," Le told the Examiner.
