Whitmer Secures Fighter Jet Mission for Michigan Base Amid Political Risks

President Trump and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer shared the stage in a rare bipartisan moment as Trump announced a major military investment for Michigan’s Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The base will receive 21 advanced F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets, replacing the aging A-10 fleet and helping preserve over 5,000 jobs. Whitmer, a Democrat and potential 2028 presidential contender, had long advocated for this upgrade.

Trump praised Whitmer as “very effective,” while Whitmer emphasized the win for Michigan’s economy and national defense, without directly crediting Trump. The event has stirred political debate, with some Democrats expressing concern over Whitmer’s appearance alongside Trump. Still, she remains focused on delivering for her state.

📍 This move signals a new chapter for Michigan’s military readiness and underscores high-stakes political dynamics ahead of 2028.
