Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed her excitement for the next chapter of the Democratic presidential campaign following President Joe Biden's decision to exit the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee. Whitmer, who served as a campaign co-chair for both Biden and Harris, acknowledged the challenges faced after Biden's shaky performance in the first presidential debate but emphasized the campaign's readiness to ensure his success.
Reflecting on recent events, including the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Whitmer described the past weeks as emotionally taxing. She admitted to considering the possibility of Biden not seeking reelection but was surprised by his sudden announcement, which she learned about upon arriving at an event in Michigan.
