JB Pritzker Says He Used GLP-1s to Lose 80 Pounds
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) revealed Monday on “CBS Mornings” that he has been taking a GLP-1 medication since he was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on Pritzker saying he lost 80 pounds with a GLP-1, and all three note that he discussed it on CBS Mornings. Politico and CNN frame the medication use as following a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis two years ago, while the New York Times says he had been on a GLP-1 regimen since 2024. Only the New York Times adds that Pritzker is widely seen as a potential presidential candidate.
