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
