Speaking at a dinner for New Hampshire Democrats that is usually reserved for those about to run for president, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker was sounding like a 2028 presidential candidate Sunday night.

In comments to reporters Monday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller slammed Pritzker’s calls for protests. “His comments, if nothing else, could be construed as inciting violence,” Miller said when asked if the Justice Department would “take action” against the governor.

The Illinois governor, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, criticized fellow Democrats who have failed to push back hard enough against President Donald Trump's policies.
