That's the spirit, Gretchen Whitmer!

"I'm fired up and ready to fight like hell to elect @JoeBiden and Democrats up and down the ticket this November. Are you with me?"

That's my governor. I have nothing against Kamala but I really wish Joe had not promised to have a black woman on the ticket
in 2020. Gretchen would be perfect to step into the presidency if Joe wanted to serve only one term. Then again, I didn't want to lose
her in 2020. I want her to run in 2028 but then again, if the orange menace wins, we may not have elections anymore.

Starting in the 1980s with RW talk radio, Fox News & NewsMax has made a lot of folks wrongly voting for the repubs. They vote their fears and hate. The rich do not want the Dems to win or be in charge. They don't want higher taxes. They give the repubs a lot of money to win. repubs owe the rich a lot. trump is their lackey. Please promote Project 2025 to see the plan. Tell them to look up Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society. All the appointed judges by trump are members. trump asks them for names. We must GOTV.

He’s honest, hard working, and effective. I cannot believe how much has been thrown at him, and keeps on doing a great job without getting the credit he deserves.

And I’m getting more fired up, too. I was shocked and sad over the SCROTUS six yesterday, but I’m pissed off today.

Joe is fine. It’s tRump that needs to explain himself with all of his lies, his felonies, the rights he’ll take away from us, as well as how he’ll kill jobs, clean air, water, etc.

I'm with you Big Gretch! Her term ends in 2026 and we need her to stay right here in Michigan. We have a system in place to replace the President with the VP if need be. Talking about Biden stepping down will only hurt us.

There's an unsubstantiated meme running around claiming an 'inside source' said that when Whitmer spoke with the DNC she indicated she would not run as a presidential replacement but that Michigan was lost after President Biden's debate.

It didn't sound like something Governor Whitmer would say but it does underscore how there's a strong current out there to push the doom and gloom. to make Agent Orange and his fascist sidekicks sound inevitable while suggesting 'there's nothing Dems can do but surrender.'

She has a fantastic team behind her also. She has done an absolutely amazing job for Michigan.

Joe—regardless of the opponent. He’s who’s needed at this exact moment in history.
