Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is claiming that Donald Trump\u2019s performance at the Iowa caucuses<\/a> is showing the “weakness of Donald Trump.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pritzker, a Biden campaign surrogate, made the remark on MSNBC Monday night as votes were still being counted. Trump ended up winning the contest<\/a> by a large margin, capturing 51.01% of the votes, followed by Ron DeSantis at 21.23%, Nikki Haley at 19.12% and Vivek Ramaswamy at 7.66%, who later suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is the most famous Republican. He\u2019s the guy who, you know, basically built the modern Republican Party, the MAGA Republican Party that Democrats are running against and half the people in that party didn\u2019t vote for Donald Trump,” Pritzker told MSNBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So, I think that is telling. It tells you the weakness of Donald Trump and also the opportunity for Democrats, because in the end, look, if the base doesn\u2019t turn out for Donald Trump in the general election enthusiastically, and Democrats turn out its base, this is all about, you know, independents, and independents don\u2019t like Donald Trump<\/a>,” he added. “So, I think we\u2019re in a pretty good place tonight to see what\u2019s happening on the Republican side.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pritzker then said “If Donald Trump in fact is the winner tonight and able to win in New Hampshire and in South Carolina, probably the race is over, but the truth is all of these candidates are running as sort of mini-me Trump Republicans.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pritzker last year said he would support Biden\u2019s 2024 re-election campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Biden, in a tweet late last night, described Trump as the “clear front runner” following Iowa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He\u2019s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden said in a post on X. “But here\u2019s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it\u2019ll be true tomorrow.”\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
