Illinois Governor JB Prtizker — who has long been seen as a potential presidential contender in 2028 — recently laid out his plans to launch politically-motivated prosecutions targeting Trump officials, a strategy he referred to as “Project 2029.”
While speaking with the New York Times, Pritzker framed the plan as a “forward-looking framework” for Democrats aiming to regain national power after the 2028 election. Pritzker, who has served as governor since 2019 and has frequently clashed with the Trump administration on issues including immigration enforcement, described the project as a necessary response to political lessons from recent years.
When asked to describe a Project 2029 agenda, Pritzker claimed he was seeking to restore the “rule of law” by targeting political opponents.
“I don’t think you can speak of it in shorthand, but we’ve got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who’ve broken the law,” he said, failing to provide examples. “I’m talking about the people in this administration who’ve broken the law and federal agents who’ve broken the law need to be held accountable.”
When asked whether this included criminal prosecution, Pritzker replied, “Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted. Whatever it is that we can do.” He added that civil actions could serve as an alternative where criminal charges might not apply.
