Whitmer mocks Trump and Vance, pointing out their lack of relatability to average Americans.

In a playful jab at former President Donald Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, Whitmer pointed to a successful revitalization project in Vance's Ohio hometown that was supported by the Biden-Harris administration. She mocked Trump's lack of relatability to average Americans, suggesting that he may not even be familiar with basic tools like screwdrivers or everyday tasks like using coupons.

Whitmer concluded her remarks by expressing her desire for a future president who prioritizes the well-being of workers and demonstrates genuine support for their interests. She contrasted Trump's famous catchphrase, 'You're fired,' from his reality TV show with her vision of a leader who reassures workers that their concerns are heard and valued.
