Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer delivered a speech in Washington advocating for a consistent national strategy to bring manufacturing back to the United States. She emphasized creating more American-made products like ships, planes, and semiconductor chips, cutting red tape, and promoting fair trade. Despite criticizing President Trump’s tariffs, Whitmer expressed agreement with his goal of boosting American manufacturing. She also highlighted the importance of bipartisan cooperation and finding common ground in policy-making. Whitmer addressed criticisms of her approach, noting that she will hold people accountable while working towards important goals for Michigan. She emphasized the need to have a seat at the table and engage in dialogue with political opponents. Whitmer’s approach of focusing on common ground with the Trump administration differs from some other Democratic governors who have taken a firm anti-Trump stance. Although rumored as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, Whitmer denied any plans to run for president in the future. She concluded her speech by emphasizing the importance of leadership that prioritizes the growth and success of American manufacturing.
