In a social media post, Whitmer reiterated her commitment to supporting Democratic candidates and preventing the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
Whitmer praised President Biden for his dedication to various key issues, including lowering prescription drug costs, infrastructure improvements, reshoring supply chains, climate change initiatives, and maintaining America's global leadership.
She criticized Trump's policies, highlighting concerns about increased costs for families, nationwide abortion bans, and the misuse of presidential power for personal vendettas, stating that such an agenda is not in the best interest of Michigan.
