Michigan Governor Whitmer Rejects Trump’s Agenda

Michigan is shaping up to be a battleground state for the 2024 presidential election. President Joe Biden recently appointed Governor Gretchen Whitmer as a co-chair of his reelection campaign. Whitmer has made a statement ahead of Donald Trump’s Saturday night rally, asserting that Michigan did not support Trump in 2020 and will not do so in 2024.

Whitmer emphasized that President Biden has brought the state together, making it more prosperous and welcoming. She also made a rare statement indicating that Trump’s visit to Michigan is unwelcome. The rally will be broadcast on Newsmax and the Newsmax2 streaming platform.

Trump’s frequent rallies contrast with the unusualness of a democrat leader like Whitmer speaking out before the event. Michigan is a key battleground state for both the 2020 and 2024 elections, as demonstrated by Trump’s lead over Biden in several recent polls.

Whitmer has been a prominent figure in the state’s political landscape, particularly following the foiled kidnapping plot against her. Debate around the events, both at the Michigan Capitol and the U.S. Capitol, have been ongoing and have attracted attention from conservative media.
