After Trump won the presidential race, Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer took the high road and talked about working together with the 47th president. In a press release on the day of Trump’s inauguration, she said, “I want to congratulate President Trump as he begins his second term, and I look forward to getting to work on the priorities we share…Together, with Republicans and Democrats in Lansing and the new administration in DC, I know we can lower costs, bring more manufacturing back to Michigan, boost research and innovation, and cut red tape.”
