DALLAS, TX — Today, Governor JB Pritzker joined the Texas Democratic Party ahead of the RNC Convention in Dallas, Texas. Together, they called out Donald Trump and his cronies’ attempt to cover up his failed policies with a made-up RNC midterm convention.
As voters head to the polls this November, Governor Pritzker and Texas Democrats reminded them how Trump’s leadership has skyrocketed gas and grocery prices, ripped away healthcare from millions of Americans, and dragged our country into an endless war in Iran — all while he and his billionaire allies get richer at the expense of working families.
“If there’s a divide in the country, it’s between Team Fight and Team Cave, and Texas Democrats are on Team Fight,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “I’m very pleased to stand with them on Team Fight. We’re going to have to win if we want to preserve our democracy and fight for working class families in this country. We will win and push back on the policies of MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump.”
“Trump’s tariffs have cost the average American family more than $1,800 in the last year, with American consumers paying $230 billion in total tariff costs,” said Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder. “This country needs Texans to meet the moment and give working folks a seat at the table again, and we intend to do that. And when we do, we will be on the front lines, ensuring that the Democratic Party delivers for those people who were counting on us to put the jam on the bottom shelf again.”
