Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a statement this afternoon on the announcement that President Joe Biden is dropping out of the presidential race. Whitmer continues to say that she is not going to run, despite her name being mentioned nationally as a leading replacement for Biden.
Her statement is as follows:
“President Biden is a great public servant who knows better than anyone what it takes to defeat Donald Trump. His remarkable work to lower prescription drug costs, fix the damn roads, bring supply chains home, address climate change, and ensure America’s global leadership over decades will go down in history. My job in this election will remain the same: doing everything I can to elect Democrats and stop Donald Trump, a convicted felon whose agenda of raising families’ costs, banning abortion nationwide, and abusing the power of the White House to settle his own scores is completely wrong for Michigan.”
