Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has been considered a possible VP pick for Vice President Kamala Harris.
I’m not saying it won’t happen, but Whitmer said she won’t accept an invite to be Harris’s VP:
A local news reporter with WLNS asked Whitmer if she were prepared to take the job of vice presidency alongside Vice President Kamala Harris who is now running for president.”No. I’m not planning to go anywhere,” Whitmer replied.”I am not leaving Michigan. I am proud to be the governor of Michigan. I’ve been consistent. I know everyone is always suspicious…I’m not going anywhere,” said Whitmer.When pressed why it took “so long” for Whitmer to endorse Harris, who announced she would run for president after president Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday, Whitmer said she “wanted a minute” to “let the dust settle.””I think everyone was surprised by the news yesterday, even though there was a lot of conversations about it, and that means co-chairs included. So I wanted a minute to check in with all my colleages, and let the dust settle. And proud to be supporting the vice president for president,” Whitmer said.
