Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Launches National PAC to Target MAGA Republicans in Key House Districts
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has launched a new national political action committee (PAC) named 'Ready for the Fight,' aimed at targeting Republican candidates in House districts that President Trump won in 2024. Governor Pritzker will serve as an honorary chair and has pledged at least $20 million to support the midterm effort. The PAC plans to place ad reservations against what it terms 'the worst of the worst MAGA Republicans,' specifically mentioning Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, and candidate Brandon Herrera of Texas. These candidates are running in districts that voted for President Trump by significant margins (11 and 15 points, respectively). Governor Pritzker stated the PAC's goal is to expand pickup opportunities for Democrats into traditionally Republican territory, focusing on districts that might be R+5 or R+7 where a Democrat could win due to the national mood.
