CHICAGO, IL — Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to Illinois, JB For Governor released a new ad called “Pretend,” highlighting Darren Bailey’s commitment to Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda. Throughout his campaign, Bailey has made clear that he supports Trump’s failed policies, including the tariffs that are raising costs for working families.
Last week, the president endorsed Bailey saying, “I’m all for Bailey.” Bailey enthusiastically accepted the endorsement, which was no surprise given his promise to “roll the red carpet out” for Trump in Illinois.
While Darren Bailey is busy nurturing his friendship with the most corrupt president in history, Governor JB Pritzker is fighting against Trump’s policies that are hurting working families across Illinois.
This ad will air statewide on broadcast and digital platforms.
