He also responds to rumors of a potential 2028 presidential run, his growing influence in Democratic politics and how he balances progressive priorities with economic pragmatism. Plus: a look at Chicago’s political culture, Pritzker’s rise from donor to power broker, and why Manny’s remains a must-stop on the campaign trail.
