His current term expires in early 2027. It isn't like I think a Republican would win if JB doesn't run; we have some fine up and coming Democrats in our state. But I can't see JB as a Senator; this man was born to be running things, not debating and playing legislative games. I mention that because I am pretty sure the senior Senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, is likely on his last term and we're going to need someone special to take his place. JB Pritzker is too good to leave the political stage. Again, I hope he stays on as Governor.
