Illinois Governor JB Pritzker made a stark comparison on Tuesday. He stated a potential second term for former President Donald Trump would be "slightly worse" than the COVID-19 pandemic.
The governor, a prominent Democrat, referenced the high death toll during the health crisis. He said people had died "in droves."
Pritzker's comments highlight the intense political divisions in the United States. He framed the upcoming election as a critical moment for the country's future.
The statement is expected to draw strong reactions from both political sides. Trump's campaign has not yet publicly responded to the governor's comparison.
