(CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Gov. JB Pritzker, back from Washington, says President Biden is ready to be the nominee this year. Pritzker, saying Biden was engaged during a meeting with Democratic governors last month, said the President needs to convince America he simply had a bad night at that debate — nothing more.

“I think that President Biden – and I’ve said this – he needs to go out there and answer all the questions,” Pritzker told reporters Tuesday, “and he needs to show people that he is the leader of the free world and that he is doing a heck of a job in showing the U.S. is leading us. We have a lot of enemies in the world, and it is going to take a tough, strong, smart, and principled leader. And that’s what Joe Biden is.”

Pritzker predicts while some Democrats are urging the President to bow out, the party will unite at the convention – because, Pritzker says, Donald Trump must be stopped.
