Pritzker Campaign Responds After Trump Visit
The campaign said Trump is not tethered to reality as Democrats pointed to rising grocery and gas prices and cuts to health care and education funding.
President Donald Trump visited Illinois to award the Cup at Medinah Country Club on Sunday, claiming during his trip that inflation is decreasing nationwide.
Following Trump's remarks, Democrats in Illinois expressed disagreement with his economic assertions, citing rising prices at gas pumps and grocery stores that residents continue to face.
Trump claimed stock markets and 401s are at all-time highs, while State Sen. Dave Koehler, D-Peoria, criticized the administration for cutting health care and education funding.
A spokesperson for Gov. Pritzker's campaign stated in The Center Square that Trump is 'not tethered to reality' and should focus on delivering lower costs promised.
Christian Mitchell, Pritzker's lieutenant governor candidate, joined Democratic lawmakers in Bloomington on Monday to continue campaigning against the administration's economic narrative.
