“It’s finally our time,” the first lady said. “The Democratic National Convention my husband fought so hard to bring to Chicago has become a huge celebration of women!”
It’s early morning, and Illinois first lady MK Pritzker is having a cup of tea.
She’s relaxing in the aftermath of the hard-charging primetime speech from her husband, Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday, extolling the presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris as the nation’s first woman president.
“It’s finally our time,” the first lady said. “The Democratic National Convention my husband fought so hard to bring to Chicago has become a huge celebration of women!”
And so it has!
Night after night, women have taken primetime spots at the DNC at the United Center.
Consider: “The formidable [former] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is running around the convention in heels as a rock star,” MK Pritzker said. “I can’t keep up!
“And everybody is wearing a Pelosi pin which contains a ‘Godfather’ movie logo … except it says ‘Godmother!’ This amazing woman is a wonder woman in her 80’s and now Queen of the Convention!”
Consider: “In a week, Gwen Walz, the wife of [Kamala’s veepmate] Tim Walz, had only hours to turn her life around … and she has now become everybody’s definition of a best friend,” said the state’s first lady, stunned when “Gwen” walked by “unescorted” at a private Pritzker party this past week at the Salt Shed.
