MI-GOV: Biden stumps for Whitmer in Southfield
Southfield — Former Vice President Joe Biden strolled into southeast Michigan on Wednesday to stump for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer, calling her a person of character in one of the most important races in the country, he said.
With his trademark smile, Biden greeted nearly every friendly face at Leo's Coney Island in Southfield, mugging for selfies and hugs, and eager for conversation as he attracted rock star attention. He touched on everything from his college days and previous elections he'd won in Delaware to his White House days and the importance of electing Democrats.
"This governor's race is a bellwether for the whole country," Biden said as Whitmer, her running mate Garland Gilcrest, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and a phalanx of reporters stood by. "If you look at Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, I mean really and truly, this is going to determine ... the mood of the country, whether we're back. It's really, really important."
Then he turned to reporters and the crowd and said, referring to Whitmer: "You've got a good one here. She gets it. I'm really proud to be with her."
