LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made a direct appeal to young men who shifted sharply to the right in the most recent election in a speech Wednesday in which she continued to call for each major party to work across the aisle.

Whitmer delivered her speech just days after sitting next to President Donald Trump at a White House dinner and reiterated her hope to find common ground with him. As a potential 2028 presidential candidate with a national profile built on advocating for women’s rights, Whitmer emphasized that her message was directed “to all young people, but especially to our young men.”

“The last thing any of us wants is a generation of young men falling behind their fathers and grandfathers,” Whitmer said.

Young men swung sharply for Trump in the November election. He gained a larger share of Black and Latino voters than he did in 2020, most notably among men under age 45, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of more than 120,000 voters. Many respondents cited Trump’s approach to the economy and job opportunity.

Very seldom has a governor risen above the noise level to be extremely noticeable as obnoxiously leftist.

Gretchen has exceeded expectations.

This is why they voted Right. The condescending Woman-splaining about how dumb they are for thinking instead of just following.

So because this democrat gave a meaningless, substanceless speech and mentioned young people, this is news?

So sick of the media bothering me about how the scumbag democrats can get back in power.

Of the current 2nd and 3rd tier Dems, she fall just below Bass. If I was stuck on a remote island with them, I’d probably off myself.

You do not win over young men by being a condescending scold.

The “lady” who violated her own COVID lock-down orders and caused a jewelry store to open for her because she “wanted something pretty” is certainly in touch with the thinking of young men.
