CHICAGO – Governor JB Pritzker is calling out Republicans’ attempt to funnel $1 billion in taxpayer money to Donald Trump’s White House ballroom vanity project and demanding every dollar go to working families and small businesses crushed by Trump's tariffs instead.
In response, Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement:
“Republicans are physically incapable of telling Trump ‘No.’ As people continue to struggle under the weight of Donald Trump’s tariffs, Republicans in Congress are ready to hand him $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for his White House ballroom. It’s time to put working families ahead of Trump’s ego. I’m calling for all $1 billion to be immediately directed to a tariff relief fund for the working families and small businesses that were crushed by Trump’s tariffs.”
