Through the group, governors will leverage their “unique legislative, budgetary, executive, and administrative powers to deliver results for the American people,” the statement said.
The alliance will also develop “playbooks” to enable governors and their teams to “anticipate and swiftly respond to emerging threats,” according to the statement. The group did not specify what those threats were.
Govs. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Jared Polis of Colorado launched the group and will act as co-chairs overseeing the coalition. The group will be supported by a network of senior staff designated by each governor.
According to its official website, GovAct is advised by a board that includes former Republican and Democratic governors from states such as Minnesota and Massachusetts, as well as a former deputy attorney general.
Specifics regarding how exactly the alliance would function were not provided.
In a statement, Pritzker said the alliance was formed amid a “critical moment in our history … to protect the foundations of our democracy and ensure our institutions withstand threats and persevere in their mission to improve the lives of our people.”

How long before Biden pulls a Hitler peace offering
(meeting at the White House) one day
and bombs the hell out of Poland the next
(Has the the Entire Maga team arrested)?
And Maga supporters outlawed?
How long before another one of their brain washed
MK ultra want be the hero assassins slips thru the
cracks again?
How long before Nancy Pelosi farts a triple
flutter blast in Trumps direction again?
The specter of political appointees transitioning into permanent civil service roles—a process known as "burrowing"—is once again haunting Washington, D.C. Reports suggest that President Biden has already moved more than a thousand political appointees into civil service positions, with some estimates indicating that he could move upwards of 3,000 by the end of his term—far surpassing President Obama's record of 2,500 such transfers. As one insider noted, 'This is about cementing policy influence for decades to come.' This stealthy reshuffling is not merely a bureaucratic quirk; it is a potent political strategy designed to embed partisan loyalists deep within the machinery of government, shielding them from the whims of future administrations. As Republicans prepare for 2025, the lessons of 2016 loom large. Burrowing, once seen as an innocuous administrative maneuver, has been wielded by Democrats as a weapon to undermine conservative agendas, and they are poised to use it again.

I'm basing my assumptions on the fact that Democrats play dirty. They did the first time and there's been nothing to show me they won't do it again. Democrat Governors have already prepared some "coalition" to fight Trump, so why would I think they're NOT going to do everything they can to wreck his administration ?

I don't think Trump makes it to the White House and I think everyone knows this including him. They have something big planned that will turn everything upside down.

They've already started a nonpartisian group of legislators to block everything Trump.

You're basing your assumptions on Democrats having some leverage.
As of Jan 2025, they will have NONE. ZERO. NADA.
