How Trump Is Screwing Michigan—and What Democrats Can Do About It
President Trump’s policies, particularly tariffs, are annoying voters in left-leaning Detroit but also more conservative, rural areas of Michigan, says Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, Gilchrist discussed his travels across the state, both for his current role and his campaign to become Michigan’s governor. He argued that voters are frustrated with Trump but not sure Democrats are solving their day-to-day problems, either. Gilchrist, one of the few African Americans in a statewide political office, also condemned Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to majority-Black cities and targeting of Black officials, such as Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
