* Gov. Pritzker was asked today if he plans to endorse in the Democratic primary race for comptroller…

I don’t have any plans right now. I know all of the candidates that are running. One of them happens to have worked for me, and I know her work probably better than anybody else, but I don’t have anybody in mind right now. But there’s a lot of time between now and March.

Five Democratic candidates have filed petitions to run in the primary. Rep. Margaret Croke (D-Chicago) is the candidate who worked for Pritzker’s administration.

* The governor was also asked today about this…

Pritzker…

Today is yet another example of the well, the terrible nature of our president when he’s attacking Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner. I was with them four days ago, and these are some terrific people. They care deeply about people. They have political views, but they also are just, they’ve been philanthropic. They care about their community. They have done so much for early childhood development, early childhood education. If you’re unaware, you should go look at it. Probably the most important work, maybe in the nation, was done by them. And to have the President of the United States attacking them. And really, I just, I don’t understand, I don’t understand. I don’t understand why the President has to do things like this. What is wrong with him that he has to attack people? Especially when their families are suffering. And that’s just one example, but yeah, there are a lot of examples of things that I wish Democrats and Republicans would stand up and speak out about, and that today is yet another example of that.

More in a bit from today’s presser.
