More CoverageHe has spent months weighing who would serve alongside him if he wins in November. Biden has pledged to select a woman and has conducted an expansive search, with finalists including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, California Rep. Karen Bass and former Obama national security advisor Susan Rice.
Whitmer has sought to address racism and racial inequity. In April, she created a task force to address the pandemic’s racial disparities and later proposed police reforms in the wake of George Floyd’s killing. On Wednesday — days after visiting Biden — she declared racism a public health crisis, created an advisory council of Black leaders and required implicit bias training for all state employees.
If Whitmer is chosen to join the ticket and Biden wins, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II would become the country’s only Black governor. Biden and Whitmer formed a bond after he campaigned for her in the 2018 gubernatorial election. She is a co-chair on his campaign.Her profile has grown since delivering the Democrats’ response to President Trump’s State of the Union address in February and especially amid the pandemic.
Please, oh please, select her. That would seal the deal for realDonaldTrump in Nov!
🤮🤮🤮
She’ll be president when they roll Biden up in less than a year because of cognitive issues.
Please, no.
So she lockdown michiganians for 5 months as the gift to DNC and Joe.
He should pick her. She ranks second place in crazy to Harris. C’mon Joe, you know your want her. Wonder how she smells?
she has become the beautiful face of fascism.
Biden met with Obama recently too. Stop being dumb.
He knows full well at this point he needs a black woman. This was probably to appease people like Dodd.
DO YOU THINK THIS IS REAL OR JUST A SHOW?
Wrong color
She’s Caucasian LOL. That’s not happening.
GretchenWhitmer is awesome; but she hasn’t been governor that long, and Michigan needs her at the helm right now. I hope to see her in a national primary when JoeBiden steps down. (I assume this is for show anyway.) vp democrats election2020 mipol
