Michigan Gov. Whitmer Endorses Harris for President
Michigan Governor Throws Support Behind Vice President
Whitmer's Endorsement Signals Changing Landscape in Democratic Party
LANSING, Michigan - Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president of the United States, a move that seems to take her out of the running for the same office.
Whitmer's endorsement of Harris comes as no surprise to many political analysts, who have speculated that the vice president is likely to be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2024. Harris has been a vocal critic of President Joe Biden's handling of the economy and the pandemic, and she is seen as a more progressive alternative to the incumbent president.
Whitmer's endorsement of Harris is a significant boost for the vice president's campaign, as it shows that she has the support of one of the most popular Democratic governors in the country. Whitmer is a rising star in the Democratic Party, and her endorsement could help Harris win over moderate and independent voters.
The endorsement of Whitmer may also be seen as a sign of changing landscape in the Democratic Party. The party has long been divided between its moderate and progressive wings, but Whitmer's endorsement of Harris suggests that the party is becoming more united behind its progressive candidates.
The endorsement is a bold move by Whitmer, who is seen as a potential presidential candidate herself. By endorsing Harris, Whitmer is signaling that she is not interested in running for president in 2024.
