A liberal Chicago alderman is voicing dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party while the governor of Illinois considers a possible vice presidential nomination.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker informed CNN that while he might be hesitant to resign from office, he might be open to the idea of running for vice president.
“It would be difficult to decline a call and attention if the nominee contacted me to request an evaluation for the vice presidential position,” Pritzker stated on Wednesday.
He denied receiving any screening information from the Harris campaign, telling MSNBC on Tuesday.
Before supporting Democratic Party candidates, the leader of the Socialist Caucus of the Chicago City Council would like to learn more regarding safety concerns. Democratic Party officials have been the subject of criticism from Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez as well.
President Joe Biden made the right decision, according to the 25th Ward alderman, by withdrawing his candidacy for reelection. Sigcho-Lopez disapproved of the president’s Gaza policy and challenged Biden’s suitability for a potential second term.

Sigcho-Lopez also voiced her displeasure with several Democrats in Illinois.

“I do believe that the federal government needs to coordinate with the city of Chicago, something we missed under President Biden and anything I hope will occur in Kamala Harris’s future presidency,” Sigcho-Lopez stated.
Sigcho-Lopez was hesitant to support Harris in the presidential election.
“A convention that honors the vast majority of Democratic voters is something I support.
