Scot Bertram | Whitmer's Compliance with Donald Trump

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One —   House Republicans are advancing legislation supporting President Trump's immigration policies. The House Judiciary Committee approved a measure along party lines yesterday that would fund the deportation of one-million migrants each year. The bill also includes 45-billion dollars to detain 100-thousand migrants.

 

Two --- President Trump defended his record on the economy and poll numbers at a NewsNation town hall.  Trump called in to the town hall event hosted by Chris Cuomo on Wednesday, where he said the recent polling on his approval rating were "fake polls" where more Democrats were interviewed than members of the GOP.  Shrugging off concerns about the economy, Trump said he knows what he is doing.

 

And number three —  Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall is crediting Governor Gretchen Whitmer making an appearance at the White House with helping Selfridge Air National Guard Base get new fighter jets.  Hall says the Democratic governor has embraced Republican President Trump this term, and says she's doing a lot of really great things to help us.  Whitmer has said since Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in November that she would work to find common ground wherever she could with the new President.
