Georgia Democrats continued to feel the love from big names in blue politics across the country Tuesday during the second day of the Democratic National Convention.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker dropped by the Georgia delegation breakfast alongside fellow Midwestern Democrat Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who took the podium with a jab at Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican.

“I was with your U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock earlier, what a great speech you gave yesterday, yes? And I thought, ‘You know, Georgia needs a good governor,’ until you get one, I’m going to just show up for you,” Whitmer said.
