Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, one of the Democratic Party\u2019s most prominent state leaders, warned in a speech on Wednesday that President Trump\u2019s trade war could have calamitous effects but was careful not to blame him directly as she embraced a bipartisan message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTariffs need to be used like a scalpel, not a hammer,\u201d Ms. Whitmer said in Washington, at an event space near the White House. \u201cUnfortunately, it\u2019s unclear how this is going to strategically benefit the American economy or the American consumer. And I think that\u2019s the big problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During her <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/XXJDmOyEBUM\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">address and while responding to questions<\/a> from Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox News anchor, Ms. Whitmer sought to thread a political needle, avoiding direct criticism of Mr. Trump or his administration \u2014 a notable contrast with the blunter attacks on the president made by other Democrats seen as potential presidential contenders in 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She included encouraging anecdotes about a meeting she had in Michigan with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as well as Vice President JD Vance\u2019s visit to the state, even as she cautioned that the administration\u2019s tariff policies could cause an economic collapse. Ms. Whitmer described Mr. Trump\u2019s approach as unstable, unpredictable and damaging to corporations that rely on economic stability and steady governance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But by day\u2019s end, she was standing in the Oval Office while Mr. Trump \u2014 who hours earlier had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/04\/08\/business\/trump-tariffs-china-stock-market\" title=\"\">announced a 90-day pause<\/a> on most of his reciprocal tariffs \u2014 signed executive orders, mused again falsely about a rigged 2020 election, and praised Ms. Whitmer as \u201ca very good person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, the great state of Michigan \u2014 she\u2019s really done an excellent job,\u201d Mr. Trump said as Ms. Whitmer stood across the room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His kind words for her stunned numerous Democrats, who lit up their group chats with puzzled reactions to one of the party\u2019s leading figures suddenly being singled out for presidential praise. Ms. Whitmer\u2019s team pointed to the substance of what Mr. Trump had said \u2014 his commitment to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rapidresponse47\/status\/1910061226400379254?s=46\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">funding for an Air National Guard base near Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two politicians have a history. In 2020, he dismissed her as \u201cthat woman from Michigan\u201d during a dispute about his initial response to the coronavirus pandemic. She has since embraced the sobriquet, using it on political merchandise and during speeches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump also carried Michigan last year, and he has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/04\/07\/nx-s1-5352409\/trump-auto-tariffs-uaw-shawn-fain\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">won a wary ally<\/a> in his tariff effort in Shawn Fain, the president of the powerful United Auto Workers union and a key political figure in Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More than a dozen times during her 31-minute speech on Wednesday, Ms. Whitmer described herself or her policy proposals as bipartisan, or called for elected officials from opposing parties to work together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot more common ground here than we think,\u201d she said. \u201cWhile partisanship has infected every aspect of our lives, driven by opportunistic politicians, cynical media figures and addictive algorithms, our people are not as divided as our politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She emphasized areas in which she agreed with Mr. Trump and said she had come to Washington with the Republican speaker of the Michigan House to meet with White House officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Whitmer\u2019s measured tone stood out as other top Democrats \u2014 including governors who, unlike her, face re-election next year \u2014 sound alarms not just about Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs but also about the president himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania gave a speech last week in Bethlehem, Pa., he was more direct in blaming Mr. Trump for economic pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m not sure why the president of the United States wants to do this to our small businesses, wants to harm our main streets,\u201d Mr. Shapiro said. \u201cThis tariff war that he is starting, this button that he is pushing, is going to have one effect, and that effect is to drive up costs on consumers and businesses throughout Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/govpritzker\/status\/1909753701213892614?s=46\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">has labeled the tariffs<\/a> \u201cTrump\u2019s tax on working families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tim_walz\/status\/1907596650853392455?s=42\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">during an appearance on MSNBC<\/a>, said Mr. Trump was responsible for damaging the American economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Donald Trump understands anything about business,\u201d Mr. Walz said. \u201cHe\u2019s bankrupted every single one he\u2019s been into and now he\u2019s bankrupting this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Democrats have shown new energy. The party and its liberal allies <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/01\/us\/politics\/elections-florida-wisconsin-takeaways.html\" title=\"\">won a pivotal, $100 million contest<\/a> last week for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, conducted <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/05\/us\/politics\/anti-trump-protests-hands-off.html\" title=\"\">mass street protests<\/a> against the Trump administration last weekend and have shown strength in special elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the same time, the party has shown a growing consensus that its best path forward is not to make a Bill Clinton-esque argument of harvesting the best ideas from both parties, but to fiercely oppose a billionaire class newly empowered by Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Whitmer seems to have a different approach.
