Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer pushed back on Michelle Obama’s claim that the U.S. is not ready to elect a woman president. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press”, the Democrat argued that her party should focus on its message rather than rule out potential candidates ahead of the 2028 election.
The Hill reported that Whitmer was asked about Obama’s past comments and pointed to fellow Democratic governors who might be interested in running for president. “Listen, I have got a lot of colleagues who I think are probably interested in running for president, and I’ve heard everyone say ‘you can’t have this person’ or ‘that person.’” Whitmer said.
