STORYLINE:
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday insisted that President Joe Biden can still win her state, a key battleground in the 2024 election, even as some national Democrats question whether Biden should move forward after his shaky debate performance.
Whitmer's statement comes as many in her party question whether she could step in for Biden and run against Republican Donald Trump this fall. Whitmer and several other top national Democrats have publicly backed Biden since Thursday's debate.
“Whitmer said that she is 100% still behind Biden and that she believes the state is still winnable in his reelection campaign,” said Joey Cappelletti, a Lansing-based Associated Press reporter who covers Whitmer.

Whitmer closes all nursing home visits and she secretly flies out of Coleman Young Airport in Detroit to visit her father in Florida!
Husband launches his boat when no one else could! FIX THE ROADS!
it's a "Do as I say" government not do as I do. we're all peasants to these people and they are the MONARCHY. Can't you see?
LOL! Trump is whooping Biden in Michigan!
But she knows the FIX is in…it’s who counts the votes that matters. Zero oversight.
All these governors going all-in for their mad king is giving us crazy ammo in their election cycles.
You're right. We must stop Donald Trump and his goons.
@@thesmokyone8978nope djt got my vote nigga

With a lot of help from the voting machines.
They make voting easier.
Will she bring her I-heart-fauci pillow on the campaign trail?
Brave, thoughtful, and the last, but not least very funny Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
True Gretch? Thats effing laughable. 😂😂😂
Well, that didnt age well.
MICHIGAN FOR TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
@@rlin2648 Never!
Gangster Gretchen 😅 got y'all fooled eh😂😂
Joe?
Gretchen “Witchmer”. The Nurse Ratched of politics.
Nice😂
Nope
She is too smart to go down the tube with him.
yeah but that the dems are totally willing to throw her in the trash speaks to what a useless idiot she is.
I think Democrats should cherry pick the ticket. In a national referendum on codifying Roe. Achieving a congressional trifecta, I think Whitmer/Newsom 2024 is the best pick.
It is too important. Do it for the women of this country, I would say to Joe Biden.
If you haven't noticed, California isn't doing too hot. There's a lot of people that are moving out of that state and they're losing millions of dollars. The state of Michigan has over 15,000 miles of toxic waterways. Literally no one in the state of Michigan has clean drinking water unless you have a filtration system in your house. Neither one of those people should run anything.
@@LordVader407 This was kind of my thinking too. California has been a controversial state for a long time. Huge problems with homeless, drugs, cost of living, strict regulations, natural disasters, drought... You can't blame all of that on Newsom but it's irrelevant - people will blame him anyways and this is exactly what the republicans will do. They'll do the same with Whitmer and the water and people will listen.
Whitmore 2024! 🇺🇸
LOL! Not happening!
Should Vice President Kamala Harris replace Joe Biden as the Democratic Presidential candidate in November, I think her V.P. pick should be Governor Whitmer.
That would be wonderful if it happens.
I think you have to replace the full ticket. It's within the rules. Do it for the women of this country. Pick a landslide ticket. Use this situation to your advantage Democrats.
You guys would lose BIG!
🤡
I HOPE Michigan's madam Governor Gretchen Whitmer changes her mind and runs for President of the United States someday. She is a VERY SUPER BEAUTIFUL QUEEN.
LMFAO! She's unpopular. She'd be a terrible 'president'.
You are nuts
This is how out of touch and disillusion these Dems are. All these far fetched schmucks are going away like chaff on the wind. and you with them.
You would love Hitler too!🤡
