Gov. Mike Dunleavy was with the Trump transition team in Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s home in Florida. He was with a group in a press conference led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who told reporters that if California Gov. Gavin Newsom was a Republican, he would be “nailed to the wall” over that state’s response to wildfires.
Dunleavy was with a group of Republican governors invited by Trump to meet with him before he takes office on Jan. 20.
Dining with Trump on Thursday were 22 of the 27 Republican governors, who engaged with him in a discussion of how to drive forward the America First agenda. A few could not attend due to the massive snowstorm impacting their states.
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte told reporters “It’s been a long period without cooperation from Washington, so, we’re looking forward to the new administration coming in. We have a lot of business to get done on behalf of our states. We’re just pleased to be here to meet with the president.”
On Wednesday, Trump held a meeting Republican senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, which included Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan. Sen. Lisa Murkowski did not attend that meeting.
Sullivan, however, was able to bring up Alaska issues with Trump during the meeting.
In the video above, Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters gathered outside, “If Newsom was a Republican, you guys would go try to — you would have him nailed to the wall for what they are doing over there. I know, we’ve dealt with it. We just assume in Florida, anytime something happens, it’s going to be politicized by the media. So you guys sitting in judgment of Donald Trump, I mean, excuse me, I think your track record of politicizing these things is very, very bad.”
“What I’m telling you is you guys are trying to make an issue of it when I have watched from this seat — in fact, when I got elected governor, I was meeting with some other Republican governors and what they would say is, ‘Hey, if you have a natural disaster, just know media is coming at you, they’re going to do it,’” DeSantis said. “It’s not the same. That mayor of L.A., if that were a Republican mayor, I can only imagine what that would do. I mean, you know fires are a high risk and you try to go to Africa or wherever she was, to go on some type of voyage? You should have been there preparing and doing that. And yet I don’t see a lot of heat being directed in that thing.”
If this was “by invitation only” it stands to reason the “Princess” was not.
This should be a concern towards the natural reaction towards any Alaska need under consideration that will in the mind of Trump or his administration, reflect her bias toward him.
The full weight of persuasion on topics of state need dealing with the Fed.
Rest with Sullivan and NB3.
Sad status for Alaska.
Cheers-Johnson
It was a governors meeting A Johnson
DeSantis recently patched the nail marks in his suit after Hurricane Helene
Was He partying with the Bidens in Ghana during the storm Frank?
What can Dunleavy contribute?
Push to lock up all federal forests for “carbon” capturing, and how to maintain state voter rolls with the maximum dead or moved away voters for room to manipulate elections for “correct” outcomes?
Maybe Dunleavy will learn something, doubt it.
Ditto that… Other than a family that starts with a ‘D’, there is no much in common with a highly effective governor like DeSantis.
It’s long past time, and a unique time, for Lisa to experience travesty.
Let’s call it Political Expediency that will benefit Alaskans // Alaskans!
As per a current sitting Senator … “You can only push people so far!”
Oh don’t worry…she’s in full blown panic mode…
Speaking of Princess…word is a cousin blew up the big open secret in certain circles…oopsie daisy…after they seize assets globally…many will be pushing up daisies…oh well…don’t steal…no one likes a thief…
I wonder how much of Alaska’s money Dunleavy promised to the DJT Fund?
The Dems already sucked us dry.
Could be money well spent if we can revive our oil, gas, mining, and fishing industries.
Can we trade Florida Dunleavy for DeSantis? They’re both about to hit term limits
I am all for trading up, here is the outcome of that trade up: 10 X Dunleavy = 1 DeSantis.
We, the Attorneys General of Utah, Kansas, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas, write to express our serious concerns with how individuals harmed by COVID-19 vaccines are being treated by the federal government. We seek answers to questions about the administration of the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).”
Why wasn’t Dunleavy working with our attorney General and including Alaska in this letter? The injury to Alaskan’s is enormous and seems to be swept under the tundra.
Dunleavy is on Trump’s A list. He’s being courted for something after Trump gets Biden’s drilling restrictions reversed. Lisa Murkowski’s seat in 2028?
Disagree. Trump is not tapping Dunleavy because Dunleavy has no record to show for and is neutered against the Democrat machinery for all to see.
Maybe Trump is letting Dunleavy know that he better be ready to let this state drill baby drill at 100%…..
I doubt that invite covered mar-a-lago dining parking and other expenses.
Dunleavy standing behind the real Alpha like a good Beta male and a sorry excuse of a governor he is.
Let us speak of real issues like Inflation, grocery prices, gas at the pump the stock market, interest rates at the bank, illegal immigration removal strategy and President Musk
Inflation has come down a lot. Grocery prices indeed are a issue here. Gas at the pump has gone down and when factored for inflation is dirt cheap. Interest rates are higher but by no means record breaking. You may not be old enough to remember the 1980s and a home mortgage at 10 to 12 percent or more, that was high interest. Immigration when done legally and correctly pays for your Social Security. As far as Musk is concerned if you voted for Trump you voted for Musk and you if you didn’t know that you are blind.
