WASHINGTON (AP) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer met with President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss the impact tariffs and Medicaid changes are having on her state. The Democrat has met with Trump multiple times in his second term after taking a more diplomatic approach than in his first term. The new approach has netted her multiple wins for the state, including a new fighter jet mission to an air base in the state. Whitmer said that she will “work with anyone to get things done for Michigan.” The friendly relationship between Whitmer and Trump is in contrast towards his public stance towards other Democratic leaders, including other high-profile governors.
