“He is not somebody that you can appease,” Gov. JB Pritzker, an Illinois Democrat, said in an interview. “We’ve got to stand up and fight. And by the way, at the state level, I think many of us are. But I think that we’ve got to make sure that in the Senate and the House, that the people who have a platform are standing up.”

I can't speak for Henrik, but I feel similarly and my reference is before he was elected. Pre-election I thought he'd be acceptable at best. Him being a billionaire with no history of elected office did not instill optimism.
I am glad that he proved my doubts to be unfounded. He's more than cleared that hurdle. If anything I'd highlight him as one of our governors that best gets it with respect to what's going on now and how we need to react to modern conservatism.
If he wins another term; he's running for the White House afterwards; I could definitely vote for the guy in primary that shall not be named; unlike others here, imo we have many outstanding choices, that's why I think the new DNC chair doesn't have to be some kind of Party National Spokesman (dude has never been elected to actual public office afaik)

Pritzker to my surprise has been one of the good ones
When were you surprised? He's been good for a long time.

Pritzker has been a blessing for my state of Illinois.
