Exchange between six governors and Senate minority leader exposes divisions in party over opposition approach

Summary

Democratic governors criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not doing enough to block Trump’s cabinet nominees and policies.

In a conference call, governors led by JB Pritzker and Maura Healey urged stronger resistance, particularly against nominees Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
