In this season of giving thanks, there is one Democrat that the White House is particularly grateful for: Gretchen Whitmer. President Donald Trump and the Michigan governor, an oft-talked about 2028 presidential candidate, have developed a surprisingly productive and affable relationship, according to two White House officials and a Whitmer political aide. "Of the Democrats, she is the one who we have spent the most time with, who has reached out to us the most, who has wanted to work with us," said one of White House official, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. "From the Democrats, she is definitely the one who's most willing to get things done."
