If we're talking about politics as a sport... honestly yeah Pritzker running is probably the best shot the Dems have at holding the white house. I think most libs, even if they don't admit it, NOW realize you need a president who will actually wield power and do whatever it takes to win. Get their hands dirty if need be. Pritzker genuinely is that kind of guy, I think he was the first governor to say "fuck it I'm just gonna get PPE any way I can". Dude would've made deals with the mob to get some masks and gloves.
He's a quintessential "Do Somthing!" guy, which is the sort of guy that Americans generally like in government despite what a Reaganite would tell you.
Of course, the shit he does is likely to be very short-sighted and unlikely to be particularly left-leaning. He's going to be the kind of President that happily opens up ANWR to drilling while telling the National Guard to start sticking solar panels made with conflict cobalt on everyone's roofs, in order to get energy prices down.
In that sense, maybe he really is the FDR (or at least the LBJ) we were all promised back when Obama ran. Another guy who can save capitalism from itself.

I'll give him "not as bad as I expected" but that's as far as I'll go.

Chicago is a city of dirty hands, broad shoulders, and wind bags.
