Illinois billionaire governor uses state as a personal launchpad while preaching progressive values

March 19, 2026•Mar 19•1 min read•Politics

This is obviously just the warm-up lap for a 2028 presidential run. The same guy who postures as a champion of the little guy has already dropped $10 million of his own cash to install his lieutenant governor in the U.S. Senate. Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like treating the Governor's Mansion as a private country club membership that keeps getting renewed.
