I am a leftist and I think she did fine. She got thousands of jobs with that project and Michigan's economy has generally performed well under her. However, she did not need to be so beholden to UAW and praise tariffs during the first meeting with Trump and then cover her face that too while Trump was signing orders to persecute his opponents. Buttigieg and Beshear for example have taken a balanced line on tariffs saying blanket tariffs don't work while some strategic tariffs like Biden's do. The tariff drama will haunt her.

Trump is pliable with flattery and such. I think the overreaction to Big Gretch working for the good of her state (not necessarily the MI Democratic Party) is not good for party unity.

Sorry but I don't think she can recover from the image of hiding behind those folders....at least not running in a 20-candidate national field.
