Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has apparently been looking forward to Chicago hosting the DNC for a long time, and he was happy to show off the city to “The Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper.
The duo went on a boozy adventure through the Lake View neighborhood for one episode of the show, including stops at GMan Tavern, Guthrie’s Tavern and Murphy’s Bleachers before strolling into Wrigley Field.
Naturally, Pritzker and Klepper enjoyed a shot of Malort, the drink the governor described as the “unofficial shot from the DNC” in recent days.
Pritzker also heaped praise on “The Bear” and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, blasting former President Donald Trump’s apparent unwillingness to accept the 2024 election results if he loses.
“Donald Trump tried to steal an election. He’s saying if he doesn’t win this time, he’s been cheated,” he said.
Pritzker is scheduled to address the DNC on Tuesdaywith former President Barack Obama also on the bill for the evening.
“The Daily Show” meanwhile will continue to broadcast from Chicago for the remainder of the DNC, which runs through Thursday.
