Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed her gratitude towards President Joe Biden following his announcement that he would not seek reelection in 2024. In a social media post, Whitmer reiterated her commitment to supporting Democratic candidates and preventing the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
Whitmer praised President Biden for his dedication to various key issues, including lowering prescription drug costs, infrastructure improvements, reshoring supply chains, climate change initiatives, and maintaining America's global leadership.
She criticized Trump's policies, highlighting concerns about increased costs for families, nationwide abortion bans, and the misuse of presidential power for personal vendettas, stating that such an agenda is not in the best interest of Michigan.
Additionally, Whitmer participated in a call with Michigan campaign staff in support of a potential Kamala Harris presidential campaign. During the call, she emphasized the importance of preventing Trump from returning to office and reiterated her commitment to that goal.
