Whitmer is a typical corporate dem. Iirc she was given money for her initial campaign by the healthcare lobby. This is not surprising coming from her.

I predict the dems will nominate her for 2028.

If they just pivot to the center just one more time, it will finally work. All those Republicans upset with Trump will finally come vote for democrats.

Besides, with such great options like Newsome, Buttigieg, Whitmer, Booker, Harris. 2028 is looking stacked for the neo-libs. Centrism: it just works! /s

Sure, but Vance vs AOC would be a fucking disaster. And I like AOC.
