Whitmer Endorses Harris for President
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Joins Growing List of Democrats Backing Vice President
As President Biden continues to work on Monday to tamp down Democratic calls for him to end his campaign, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, one of the party's most prominent rising stars, has thrown her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
Whitmer, who is also the co-chair of the Biden-Harris reelection campaign, joined a call of Harris for President staff on Sunday to voice her endorsement.
"I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President," Whitmer said in a statement. "She is a strong leader who has the experience and the vision to lead our country forward."
Whitmer is the latest in a growing list of Democrats who have endorsed Harris, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Whitmer's Endorsement a Boost for Harris
Whitmer's endorsement is a significant boost for Harris, who is seen as a potential frontrunner in the Democratic primary. Whitmer is a popular figure in Michigan, a key swing state in the 2020 election. Her endorsement could help Harris win over voters in the state and beyond.
Whitmer's decision to endorse Harris comes as Biden faces increasing pressure from within his own party to drop out of the race. A recent poll found that a majority of Democratic voters believe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024.
It remains to be seen whether Harris will be able to capitalize on Biden's weakness and win the Democratic nomination. However, Whitmer's endorsement is a clear sign that Harris is a serious contender for the presidency.
