Potential 2028 hopeful accused of 'inciting violence' after call for 'mass protests' against Trump

Speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual fundraising gala this weekend, Pritzker became the first potential Democratic candidate to visit New Hampshire, or any early primary state, since Democrats' big November losses. 

"JB Pritzker's ego-driven obsession with becoming president is putting Illinois, and Republicans across the country, at risk. His inflammatory and dangerous speech is focused on further dividing our country and I hope to see Illinois Democrats condemn his call for violence," Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi said in a statement. 

Salvi said it's "clear that Pritzker's only priority is what's best for him and his presidential bid," and his trip to New Hampshire is "further proof that he's already left Illinois behind."

Pritzker's comments are the latest in a long-standing feud between the two politicians. Trump often evoked Pritzker's name on the campaign trail as an example of the downfall of Democratic-run states. 

Pritzker's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
