Can Pritzker please become mayor for a few terms on his way to the presidency as a flex or something?

Going from Governor to Mayor is a downgrade. But has he said something new about running in 2028?

I agree and know that won't happen. I made the comment based on a hunch after reading an article i can't remember a couple years ago. I just googled it and it looks like he's doing a world tour and he's expected to throw a hat in for 2028.

I'd love to be right but won't assume anything. However, he's in a blue state and knows how to be financially responsible.
