Just a few thoughts today. The Atlantic clearly wants Gretchen Whitmer to run without actually saying they want her to run. So, here’s a question: If she runs, does she take any of the steam out of RFK’s sails? Also, although I don’t think she’s a hack like Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, it’s worrying that Democratic pundits keep latching on to her.
Whitmer has fought for, and expanded, healthcare in Michigan, though she doesn't believe in single payer. She handled the pandemic as best she could by shutting things down. She has wanted to do infrastructure, from the get-go and has pushed for it. She paid down debt during her governorship while simultaneously, increasing tax breaks for seniors and small business property tax. Education and especially higher education are important to her. Bipartisan funding to lower the cost of college for state citizens has been signed into law.
According to Whitmer, she just wants things to get done, even if she doesn't get the credit for those things. She has overcome a lack of name recognition during more than one race by getting out and about. She seems to be a hard worker willing to make concessions when necessary but ready to come back to what she wants when things are more conducive.
