From Fox News: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signaled willingness to work with Donald Trump in an interview this week, saying the president-elect clearly cared about her state.
“People in Michigan, like a majority of Americans, voted for Donald Trump, and my oath is to Michigan,” Whitmer told CNN at a meeting of Democratic governors in Los Angeles. “Obviously, I’ve got experience in this type of environment that will help inform how I continue to fight for Michigan. But I know Donald Trump cares about Michigan. And I’m hoping that because of that, we’ll be able to find some common ground in some important ways.”
Trump won back Michigan in the 2024 election en route to re-capturing the White House. Whitmer is widely seen as a possible White House contender in 2028 given her status as a 2-term governor of a battleground state.
Whitmer seemed to be employing the tactic of not antagonizing Trump in public, given the federal government’s ability to allocate aid and prioritize certain states’ initiatives.
Among the innovations Democratic governors are working on as Trump returns: @JBPritzker is looking into blocking GPS tracking on apps for women who come to the state for abortions so there won’t be records to subpoena in cases against them back home https://t.co/3AkUx9X7oH
