LANSING, MI (AP)— Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has hinted that she may not be interested in running for president in 2028.
Whitmer was asked during a moderated discussion Wednesday if she is thinking about the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. While she sees herself helping, “I don’t know if I’m going to be the person,” she said.
Whitmer is in her final two years as governor and cannot run again because of term limits. She has long been seen as a potential presidential candidate.
Whitmer has several challenges in front of her. Michigan lawmakers just passed a one-week continuing budget to keep the state government operational after months of bitter disagreement. Additionally, U.S. tariffs on Canada are hurting auto manufacturing.
