President Trump Re-appoints Governor Whitmer to Council of Governors [View all]

A month ago, my governor had this to say:

“I do look forward to connecting with the incoming president, because we’ve got a lot of important things, and the people of Michigan elected us both twice, just two years apart, both times, and I suspect we can find common ground on some things and that’s my job.”

Then, this:

“I’ve got to make sure that I can deliver and work with folks of the federal government, and so I don’t view myself as the leader of the opposition like some might.”

Finally:

“On the campaign, people say certain things. It’s another thing when they get into office, where they want to spend their energy and the finite resources of government. And so we’ll see what they do.”

So, find common ground with fascists, not a leader of the opposition, and thinking he was just saying stuff on the campaign. I do not recommend looking to Governor Whitmer to do much to earn the speculation of a presidential run. My feeling is she’s just looking where the wind blows. Her own words.
