Pritzker and Emhoff to Speak at DNC

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are set to make big appearances at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week. Pritzker is expected to discuss Illinois’ economic achievements and promote the vision of a Harris-Walz administration.

Pritzker has been actively promoting the convention lately, even making appearances on various cable news shows. He recently enjoyed a few drinks in Lake View, sampling some Malort and local beers while rallying excitement for the event.

On Tuesday night, Pritzker will take the stage during the 8 p.m. hour, a significant moment for him as he played a key role in bringing the convention to Chicago. His speech will focus on economic topics and how a Harris-Walz administration promises to help the American people.

Following Pritzker’s remarks, Doug Emhoff will step up to speak. While the specifics of his speech are still unclear, it’s likely he will center on family support programs and advocate for the health and safety of children’s welfare.

Throughout the convention, NBC Chicago will provide live coverage, streaming speeches and events. Coverage will begin at 5:30 p.m., giving viewers a chance to catch all the action as it unfolds.

Emhoff, known for his supportive role in the Biden-Harris administration, aims to highlight family issues and assistance programs that resonate with many Americans. His presence alongside Pritzker adds an interesting dynamic to the convention’s lineup of speakers.
