JB Pritzker takes aim at Trump in launching Democratic re-election bid for Illinois governor
Spotlighting his accomplishments and highlighting his pushback against President Donald Trump's sweeping and controversial agenda, Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Thursday launched his campaign for a third term as Illinois governor. "I'm ready for the fight ahead," the governor said, announcing his 2026 re-election bid in the blue state. Pritzker is a billionaire and a member of the Pritzker family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain. Pritzker said that "Illinois is standing at the center of the fight: the fight to make life more affordable, the fight to protect our freedoms, the fight for common sense." Head Here For The Latest Fox News Reporting And Opinion On Jb Pritzker Pritzker has become one of the Democratic Party's most vocal Trump critics during the opening months of the president's second tour in the White House. Pointing to Trump and the Republicans who control Congress, Pritzker argued that "in Washington, all they're offering is chaos and craziness. Their tariffs are hurting farmers and small businesses, stripping away health care from seniors and working families and proposing even bigger deficits than before, all to give big tax breaks to the wealthy." Read On The Fox News App Pritzker On Hot Seat As Illinois Governor Faces Off With Congressional Republicans On Capitol Hill "Donald Trump has made clear that he'll stop at nothing to get his way," the governor charged. "I'm not about to stand by and let him tear down all we're building in Illinois." Pritzker, who started several of his own venture capital and investment startups before running for office, touted that "we don't just talk about problems. In Illinois, we solve them." In another jab at Trump, Pritzker said, "We know government ought to stand up for working families and be a force for good, not a weapon of revenge." In his video, the governor touted that during his two terms in office, "we've balanced seven straight budgets and got nine credit upgrades. We raised the minimum wage, capped the cost of insulin, banned assault weapons, protected abortion rights, and eliminated the state grocery tax, lowered prescription drug costs and added tens of thousands of jobs." However, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) does not see it that way. "People are fleeing Illinois by the hundreds of thousands and Illinois families continue to suffer the consequences of JB Pritzker's abject record of failure at home while he spends his time on a national vanity project trying to further his own political career," RGA Rapid Response Director Kollin Crompton said in a statement to Fox News. Crompton also charged that "opportunities for working Illinois families are in the garbage, criminal illegal immigrants are protected over law-abiding citizens, and Pritzker's tax hikes are destroying family budgets." 21 Democrats Who May Try To Succeed Trump In The 2028 Presidential Election Illinois, which is the nation's sixth most populous state, does not have term limits for statewide officials. However, there has not been a three-term governor in the state in more than three decades, since GOP Gov. Jim Thompson won four terms as governor in the 1970s and 1980s. Pritzker is seen as a potential contender for the Democrats' 2028 presidential nomination – and the launch of his 2026 gubernatorial re-election campaign is not expected to derail him from potentially running for the White House. He was a high-profile campaign surrogate in the 2024 cycle on behalf of former President Joe Biden, as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris after she replaced Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee last summer. Click To Get The Fox News App Those efforts brought Pritzker to Nevada, a general election battleground state and an early-voting Democratic presidential primary state, and New Hampshire, which for a century has held the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. Additionally, Pritzker's return to New Hampshire this spring to headline a major state Democratic Party fundraising dinner sparked more speculation about a possible 2028 presidential article source: JB Pritzker takes aim at Trump in launching Democratic re-election bid for Illinois governor

RGA and SOA Research Institute Release Comprehensive Study on Retirement Readiness in Japan
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute, in collaboration with Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA), a leading global life and health reinsurer, today released a new report titled 'Retirement Readiness in Japan: Financial Security and Risk Perceptions.' The study provides critical insights into the evolving retirement landscape in Japan, offering valuable information for insurers, policymakers, and financial advisors. This research underscores the urgent need for innovative retirement solutions that address both income security and health-related financial risks. Share The study, based on a November 2024 joint consumer survey conducted by the SOA and RGA among 750 Japanese respondents across three age groups (Prime Age Workers: ages 30-45, Pre-Retirees: ages 46-59, and Retirees: ages 60-75), reveals a maturing retirement system facing significant demographic pressures. With nearly 29% of Japan's population aged 65 or older 1, the need for robust retirement planning and financial products is more critical than ever. Key findings: Financial Literacy: 17% of respondents reported no knowledge at all about investment and financial products, and 42% indicated 'not very knowledgeable.' Generational Divide in Planning: Retirees show significantly higher engagement in retirement planning compared to younger cohorts, with 37% of Prime Age Workers and 45% of Pre-Retirees not having done any retirement planning. Post-Retirement Concerns about Factors Outside of Individual's Control Dominate: 90% of respondents consider tax increase and impact of an aging society on government support as their top concerns. Source of Retirement Income: Prime Age Workers and Pre-Retirees are not confident that their retirement savings are sufficient; 89% of them expect to rely on full- or part-time job earnings as part of their retirement income. Preference on Financial Products with Guaranteed or Fixed Income: Guaranteed income for life (43%) and fixed income throughout retirement (39%) are considered top financial/investment product features for retirement income, indicating preference for risk-averse options. Significant Interest in Annuity Products: 73% of respondents expressed interest in annuities with increased payments for critical illness or disability or tax-deferred annuity (65%). Improved Engagement in Retirement Planning Since 2018: Overall engagement has improved. Willingness to buy lifetime income products increased from 22% in 2018 to 35% in 2024. Respondents who are very involved in managing their retirement savings increased significantly from 21% to 50%. 'This research underscores the urgent need for innovative retirement solutions that address both income security and health-related financial risks,' said Hironori Takahashi, Chief Executive Officer, RGA Japan. 'The findings reveal significant opportunities for the insurance industry to develop tailored solutions that address the evolving needs and enhance financial security for Japan's rapidly aging population of retirees.' 'This report provides insights on the generational differences in retirement preparedness,' said R. Dale Hall, FSA, MAAA, CERA, CFA, Managing Director of Research, SOA Research Institute. 'Our study reveals that while 59% of Retirees review their social pension benefits, only 23% of Pre-Retirees and 17% of Prime Age Workers do so. Also, 37% of Prime Age Workers and 45% of Pre-Retirees haven't done any retirement planning at all. We encourage proactive retirement strategies across all age groups, working with employers, insurers, and policymakers.'
