The 6 most urgent policy questions we have for America’s governors
SHARE

Governors across the country are facing a challenging landscape in the wake of the seismic changes unleashed in the opening weeks of the Trump administration. The political calculus is clear: Democrats are strategizing ways to oppose the White House’s sweeping actions, while Republicans are eager to align themselves with the MAGA agenda. However, the decision-making process happening in state capitals is far more nuanced and politically complex.

Democrats are cautious about mounting a full resistance to President Donald Trump’s policies, given the GOP’s significant victories on Election Day. This is especially true on immigration, where the president’s hard-line stance has resonated even in traditionally blue areas. On the other hand, Republicans must navigate the delicate balance of supporting the administration’s efforts to reduce federal spending, particularly in areas that have benefited red states disproportionately.

These calculations are constantly evolving, with legal battles adding to the uncertainty. State governors are facing their toughest budget conditions since before the pandemic, as federal funding that once bolstered state coffers is dwindling. The ability of governors to navigate this complex terrain will play a crucial role in shaping their national political stature leading into the 2028 elections.

As the relationship between the federal government and state capitals undergoes significant changes, POLITICO is hosting its 2025 Governors Summit, bringing together six state leaders for one-on-one interviews during the National Governors Association meeting in Washington. The lineup includes influential Democrats like Jared Polis of Colorado and Andy Beshear of Kentucky, as well as Republican Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma.

To frame these conversations, POLITICO has outlined some of the most pressing political and policy questions facing governors in 2025:

1. How should Democratic governors collaborate with or resist Trump, keeping an eye on the 2028 elections?
2. What role do governors have in navigating a new era of trade wars and protecting their state economies?
3. How should governors address abortion issues that span across state lines and navigate federalism in this contentious space?
4. How will states cooperate with or oppose Trump’s immigration policies, considering the impact on state economies and employment?
5. As Trump downsizes Washington, do Republican governors have a line that they won’t let him cross, and how will they protect their state’s economic interests?
6. What role should governors play in the dawn of artificial intelligence in state government, ensuring ethical principles, unbiased datasets, and guarding against unforeseen consequences?

These questions highlight the complex and evolving landscape that governors must navigate in the current political climate. The decisions made by state leaders today will have far-reaching implications for the future of their states and the nation as a whole.
