JB Pritzker just claimed Trump may plan National Guard 'invasion' to stop next election

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker sharply criticised Donald Trump in a CBS Face the Nation interview, accusing him of planning “an invasion with U.S. troops” in Chicago under the guise of a crime crackdown.

He suggested Trump may try to interfere with future elections, using military force to assert control.

While not directly calling Trump an authoritarian, Pritzker voiced deep concern, drawing parallels to historical threats to democracy.

“The playbook is the same, it’s thwart the media, it’s create mayhem that requires military interdiction.

These are things that happen throughout history, and Donald Trump is just following that playbook.” he warned.
