Fox News
Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker is brushing off immediate speculation he might pose a political challenge to Biden in 2024, but he's keeping his options open.
Speaking to The New York Times, Pritzker, an heir to the fortune of Hyatt Hotels, declined to say whether he would make a run for the White House. But he insisted the idea of a last-ditch effort by the Democratic Party to replace Biden as its nominee for president in 2024 was "such an odd hypothetical if you ask me."

Regarding Biden's age, Pritzker told the outlet, "I think it assumes a lot of things about someone who’s 80 in this world today. No kidding, you know, 80 is a lot different today than it was in the ’80s."
