During a recent event at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, President Donald Trump surprised Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by inviting her to speak. Whitmer discussed the significance of military recapitalization for Michigan, emphasizing its importance for local economy and national security. She expressed gratitude for the announcement and the work behind it. The governor's appearance was notably different from a recent White House visit, where she felt out of place due to unexpected media attention. This moment represents an unusual bipartisan exchange amidst a politically charged atmosphere.
Well, I hadn't planned to speak, she began. But on behalf of all of the military men and women who serve our country and serve so honorably on behalf of the state of Michigan, I am really damn happy we're here to celebrate this recapitalization at Selfridge.
It's crucial for the Michigan economy, it's crucial for the men and women here, for our homeland security, and our future. So, thank you, I am so grateful that this announcement was made today.
