Pritzker already has a trade agreement for Illinois with Mexico. I’m sure they could set-up something like some did during COVID.

Turns out you need a "good" billionaire to take on a bad "billionaire."

I may dislike the fact that he's so incredibly wealthy but fact of the matter is he otherwise seems like a decent person, good governor, and would be a great presidential candidate. A massive outlier of the mega-wealthy that we've come to know in the US.
