Vermont Governor Phil Scott has faced criticism from residents and activists for his passive approach towards President Donald Trump’s policies in his second term. Cate Starmer, a co-founder of the grassroots group Camel’s Hump Indivisible, is among those who are calling on Scott to take a stand against Trump’s harmful policies. While some elected officials in Vermont, such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Attorney General Charity Clark, have actively resisted Trump’s agenda, Scott has preferred a more measured response.
Scott has expressed a desire to work with the president when possible but has occasionally disagreed with Trump on specific issues. Despite this, many residents feel that Scott needs to do more to protect Vermonters from the impacts of federal policies. Some have called on Scott to hold in-person town hall meetings to address these concerns, but Scott has stated that he believes responding with practical solutions based on facts is the best approach.
Critics argue that Scott’s approach of avoiding direct confrontation with Trump is no longer effective, given the aggressive rollout of Trump’s agenda. They believe that Scott should speak out more forcefully against policies that are negatively affecting Vermonters. Some residents feel that the governor’s focus on working with the administration may not be in the best interest of the state. However, Scott maintains that his priority is to protect Vermonters and assess the impact of federal policy changes before taking action.
