"We have to be laser focused on people's everyday concerns and how hard life is right now for the American people,"
"Everybody wants the economy of tomorrow, but paying the bills today is absolutely critical."
"Yes, we can judge a president, and we should judge this president,"
"But we never judge those voters."
Democratic governors met in Arizona to build on recent victories in New Jersey and Virginia and to prepare campaigns for next year's midterms, when a majority of governors' seats will be contested. The governors plan to prioritize affordability and everyday economic concerns to appeal across partisan lines and to recover from 2024 losses. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, the new Democratic Governors Association chair and a potential 2028 presidential candidate, emphasized focusing on paying bills today. Governors intend to use affordability messaging as a cudgel against President Trump while not centering him. The meeting occurred amid Trump administration actions including National Guard deployments and demands for voter data.
