Would Gretchen Whitmer make a good nominee for 2028?
I know a lot of people are feeling skeptical about nominating women again. But I feel like Gretchen Whitmer is different from other women (Hillary and Kamala). I genuinely like her and she comes off as someone with Biden’s economic policies mixed with Obama’s campaigning. That’s the winning strategy in my opinion
- She is a governor from a key swing state (Michigan)
- Has a proven progressive/social democratic record
- Has moderate appeal (pragmatic progressive who doesn’t alienate people)
- Doesn’t give off woke vibes or get into culture war
- Puts the issues front and center
- Is a fighter
- Is popular amongst her state
- Has a history of beating MAGA candidates
- Is somewhat an outsider (isn’t part of any previous administration)
- She’s Gen X meaning it’s turning a tide on baby boomer era
