Pritzker campaigning for Harris in AZ: ‘no one is a single-issue voter’
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is spending the weekend campaigning for Democrats on abortion rights in Arizona, saying “no one” is a single-issue voter.
“Look, people, no one is really a single-issue voter, right? They got a number of things they go into the ballot box thinking about before they pull the lever for one candidate,” Pritzker said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Abortion rights is going to be a very important one.”
Pritzker called in from Phoenix, Ariz., the capital of the critical swing state, where he helped get an abortion protection measure on the ballot this fall.
The measure is seeing Republican support, though Vice President Harris narrowly trails former President Trump. He was asked by anchor Jake Tapper if support for abortion protections isn’t translating to support for Harris.
The governor brushed off the concerns and pointed to several issues impacting Americans when they head to the polls.
“The economy also matters, and that’s why the policies of the Harris-Walz campaign and the administration that they will put together are about creating opportunity for everybody,” Pritzker said.
Trump holds a slight lead over Harris in the Grand Canyon state, which barely went to President Biden in 2020. The vice president visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday to call for stricter border security as the state grapples with immigration and the GOP campaigns on the Biden administration’s record.
Pritzker said he’s seeing the support for Harris on the ground in the state.
“She’s going to win Arizona and when she wins Arizona, that, frankly, torpedoes the entire Trump campaign,” he said.
