How are Democratic governors responding to Donald Trump?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Democratic governors are going on the offense against Donald Trump as Trump's disastrous policies continue to cause major damage in the United States. The various Democratic governors are letting the people in their states know that they're going to protect the people of their states from Donald Trump's harm. For example, Here is the Democratic governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, talking about how Donald Trump is just engaged in a massive distraction operation from the fact that prices are not lower, housing is not more affordable, there's no peace in Ukraine in 24 hours, and Donald Trump is causing so much harm.
Governor J.B. Pritzker 0:42
Governor Prinsker, let's play it. It's a massive effort to distract from what they are doing across the country to take away things that working class, middle class people, families, the most vulnerable really need. You know, maybe they you know, as they come and try to attack the state of Illinois and that's what they're doing, you know, the the lawsuits are against laws on the books in Illinois. I mean, unlike Donald Trump, we follow the law in Illinois. Now, maybe they put up with this kind of garbage in Florida, which is the home state of the head of the DOJ. But in Illinois, we have grit. We are tough. We are strong. And Donald Trump has no idea what he's up against when he attacks Illinois. We're here. We're going to stay here.
Governor J.B. Pritzker 1:34
We're going to keep fighting for lowering costs on people, on building up jobs, on holding back the tariffs, whatever we can do to make this a great state. We're going to continue to.

Next up, Governor Walz from the great state of Minnesota. He's still out there fighting and he's drawing a contrast between what he's doing for the people in his state versus the disastrous policies of MAGA. He says, in Minnesota, we're focused on feeding our kids and investing in our schools, not taking away people's rights. Let's play this clip. All right, do this. And then what?
Tim Walz 2:12
Take it out. Okay, here we go. Here we go. What is it? You go with Play-Doh? All right. You can't help but be optimistic to go into a classroom like that and see where our future is. And I think Minnesotans have always understood that's where our common interest lies in making sure that our little ones are safe. They have housing, they have food, they have a good education. And that is why Minnesota continues to excel on so many fronts. We're not focused on fighting trade wars with our neighbors. We're not focusing on chaos. We're focusing on lifting people up and doing the right thing. And it's not all that difficult. And you're seeing it in that classroom. You're seeing it in McDonough. And you're seeing it in over 450,000 children that that was money for books.
Tim Walz 2:57
That was money for a new pair of boots. That was money for food. That was money to make sure the folks could keep the heat on in the house for the child. Those things are really, really important.

I got to show you this one other clip from Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois. This is like the ultimate troll of Donald Trump. Here, Governor Pritzker declares Lake Michigan is now Lake Illinois and says Illinois has annexed Green Bay. Watch this.
Governor J.B. Pritzker 3:23
I'm here today to make an important announcement. The world's finest geographers, experts who study the Earth's natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council and determined that a great lake deserves to be named after a great state. So today, I'm issuing a proclamation declaring that here and after, Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois. The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world's maps reflect this momentous change. In addition, the recent announcement that to protect the homeland, the United States will be purchasing Greenland, Illinois will now be annexing Green Bay to protect itself against enemies, foreign and domestic. I've also instructed my team to work diligently to prepare for an important announcement next week regarding the Mississippi River. God bless America and bear down.
