She is governor of a state where the center of American auto industry is (was?) located. The President of UAW already said he agreed with Trump on tariff. It would be bad optic if she doesn’t at least show some kind of supports for the auto industry workers.
Correct.
If she plays her cards right she can take credit for Trumps policies for jobs and industry coming back to Detroit/Michigan.
That would be the smart play for a politician.
She is termed out I believe.
