Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat who is seeking election to a third term, is again calling for the ouster of President Donald Trump via the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“President Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. Let’s be honest: There is something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment must be invoked before it’s too late,” Pritzker declared in a video posted to X on Wednesday.
“For the sake of our national security, Donald Trump needs to go now,” he added.

“This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It’s past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked,” the governor asserted in a post on X.
Later that day, Pritzker pointed out that he had also urged use of the 25th Amendment months ago.
