Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker had long been looking forward to Chicago hosting the DNC, and he was happy to show the city to “Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper.
The duo embarked on a boozy adventure through the Lake View neighborhood for a segment of the show, including stops at GMan Tavern, Guthrie’s Tavern and Murphy’s Bleachers before strolling through Wrigley Field.
Naturally, Pritzker and Klepper enjoyed a glass of Malort, the drink the governor has described as the “unofficial DNC shot” in recent days.
Pritzker also praised “The Bear” and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and lambasted former President Donald Trump’s apparent reluctance to accept the results of the 2024 election if he loses.
“Donald Trump tried to steal an election. He says if he doesn’t win this time, he was cheated,” he said.
Pritzker is scheduled to address the DNC on Tuesday, also with former President Barack Obama in attendance.
Meanwhile, “The Daily Show” will continue to broadcast from Chicago for the remainder of the DNC, which runs through Thursday.
