Michigan Governor on Democratic Party Debate
CNN's Abby Phillip interviews Governor Gretchen Whitmer
Whitmer discusses the debate within the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden's 2024 candidacy
In an exclusive interview with CNN's Abby Phillip, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer discussed the debate within the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden's 2024 candidacy. Whitmer, a rising star in the Democratic Party, is considered a potential presidential candidate herself. She told Phillip that she is "focused on my job as governor" but did not rule out a run for president in the future.
Whitmer said that she understands why there is some debate within the Democratic Party about Biden's candidacy. She said that some Democrats believe that Biden is too old to run for president again, while others believe that he is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump in a rematch. Whitmer said that she believes that Biden is a "strong leader" and that he has "done a good job" as president.
Whitmer also said that she believes that the Democratic Party needs to focus on winning back working-class voters. She said that the party needs to "speak to the concerns of working families" and that it needs to "offer them a clear choice" in the next election. Whitmer said that she believes that she is the best candidate to do that.
The interview with Whitmer is a sign that the debate within the Democratic Party over Biden's candidacy is likely to continue for some time. It is clear that Whitmer is a potential challenger to Biden, and her views on the race will be closely watched by both Democrats and Republicans.
