Simon & Schuster announced on Friday that the book will be published on July 9, providing an unconventionally honest, personal, and funny account of Whitmers life and career, full of insights that guided her through a global pandemic, showdowns with high-profile bullies, and even a kidnapping and assassination plot.

She'll run and do well IMO. She's a natural.

Whitmer, with just a one seat majority in the legislature, has governed fearlessly and unhesitatingly this term, passing bill after bill of progressive legislation, protecting reproductive rights, voting rights, gun safety, unions, and so much more.
She is my current favorite for 2028.

We are so very fortunate to have her as our governor. I would welcome her as our President also.
