Michigan's Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist expressed his disapproval over Governor Gretchen Whitmer's recent close engagements with President Trump, labeling it "terrible" during a campaign event. He pledged to confront the Trump administration if he triumphs in the 2026 gubernatorial race. The comments come after a public appearance where Whitmer was warmly welcomed by Trump, raising eyebrows among her supporters. Political analysts note that Whitmer's association with Trump could impact her standing as a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
"I do like Governor Whitmer, but I am a little concerned with her cozying up to Trump recently," a political science student from Michigan State University asked.
"It's terrible," answered Gilchrist, before claiming that if he is elected governor in 2026, he will 'show up' for the Mitten State and 'confront' the Trump administration.
