#GretchenWhitmer would be one of the better candidates, but I can't blame her for choosing not to run. Who wants to be captain of a sinking ship? Only idiots, degenerates and lunatics.

Gretchen Whitmer hints she won’t run for president, blasts Trump tariffs

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer used a Toronto speech to blast Trump's tariffs and then implied she won't run for president in 2028: 'I don't know if I need to be the main character in the next chapter'

Big noise in Lansing about The Man making our meds more expensive to feed their road addiction...

Ds and Rs, House, Senate, and Governor all on board with a 24% additional tax on #weed because they can't tax the wealthy.

<sigh> I can't really argue against roads being fixed, after all it's what #BigGretch originally got elected on and it is a real need. I also can't argue that consumers already pay too much, since we pay a fraction of what we did in '20. We should be paying more.

What Democrats Can Learn From Gretchen Whitmer — The Ezra Klein Show

Gretchen Whitmer is one of the names you often see on lists of Democratic V.P. contenders. She’s swatted that speculation down repeatedly, but the interest in her makes a lot of sense. Michigan is a must-win state for Democrats, and she has won the governorship of that state twice, by significant margins each time. She’s also long been one of the Democratic Party’s most talented and forthright messengers on abortion. So I think Whitmer has a lot to teach Democrats right now, whether she’s Kamala Harris’s running mate or not. In this conversation we discuss how her 2018 campaign slogan to “fix the damn roads” has translated into a governing philosophy, how she talks about reproductive rights in a swing state, what Democrats can learn from the success of female politicians in Michigan, how she sees the gender politics of the presidential election this year and more. Mentioned: True Gretch by Gretchen Whitmer “The Spartan: Why Gretchen Whitmer Has What It Takes for a White House Run” by Jennifer Palmieri…

#Election2024 #democrats #gretchenwhitmer #BigGretch #ThatWomanfromMichigan I know Gretchen and what kind of person she is. I lived in her Lansing district when she was a state legislator. She has a heart of gold and a titanium will. She inherited a state government that was a shambles, the roads and highways were the worst in the country, and the state’s economy was stagnant after 8 years of Republican rule. She turned Michigan around. She knows how to work with Republicans while never compromising her core values. She’s been the best governor Michigan has ever had, and she can be among the greatest of presidents. DRAFT GRETCHEN NOW!!!

If you're worried anyone not registered to vote already might decide to do so to stop your candidate from becoming a dicator on day one, what do you do? You sue Michigan to prevent new voter registration locations from being used to make registering easier.

Interesting read here about Michigan's efforts going back years, so worth your time. #biggretch #JoeBiden
