Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Endorses Kamala Harris for President

Endorsement Highlights Whitmer's Electoral Success in Battleground States

Whitmer has been a vocal supporter of Biden, serving as a campaign surrogate in the 2020 election

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, citing her experience in key battleground states and her commitment to progressive values. Whitmer's endorsement is seen as a major boost to Harris's campaign, as she is one of the most popular Democratic governors in the country.

Whitmer has a long history of electoral success in Michigan, a key battleground state that has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in recent presidential elections. In 2018, she was elected governor by a margin of 10 points, and she won re-election in 2022 by a margin of 6 points. Whitmer's ability to win in a state that is often closely divided is seen as a major asset to Harris's campaign.

In addition to her electoral success, Whitmer is also a vocal supporter of progressive values. She has advocated for policies such as affordable healthcare, climate change mitigation, and gun control. Whitmer's commitment to progressive values is seen as a major reason for her popularity among Democratic voters.

Harris's campaign welcomed Whitmer's endorsement, saying that it was a sign of her commitment to winning in battleground states and fighting for progressive values. The Harris campaign also noted that Whitmer's endorsement is a major boost to her campaign, as she is one of the most popular Democratic governors in the country.
