I am with that woman from Michigan! Yes we are proud to have her as our Governor.

[LauraCrawford-ccpn]

I’m so proud of my Michigander Governor!

[doreen]

She needs to keep going on to Senate. We need her. Politician who actually listens. That's unheard of in this day and age.

"That woman from Michigan" could beat the hell out of Trump.

[melissaerikson]

I want her to be the President so badly. Love Big Gretch!

[marktackman]

She is my governor and I am proud of her.

[MomsBedtimeStory]

What an amazing person to have as a Governor

[fariamario]

She’s so articulate! We need people like that in the White House

I love Governor Whitmer.
She pulled out all the stops to keep Michiganders safe & alive during COVID-19, & didn't pause for one moment, even when her very life was threatened. She is an INVOLVED elected official who LISTENS & ACTS upon what her constituents tell her they need. Now that is what I call a true leader. I wish every elected official conducted the duties of their office the way she does.
We presently have a POTUS who does. They were there when we needed them, we owe it to them to do the same for them. Too bad Michigan has term limits.

[VisualizeHealing]

Best Governor ever and yes, she would make an incredible president of the United States!

[trini]

Wow
I have always felt that women that will heal this mess. She is definitely a healer. No hate, no retribution, no lies. That was a wonderful interview.

[jakgraphic]

I’m not even a Michigander, and I want more of Gretch!

[OneEyedDronie]

She would wipe the floor with the orange blob!!

[wranglerboi]

What a team she and Pete Buttigieg would make! Young, insightful, care about Americans, and knowledgeable. Thanks, Stephen, for having her on so I could finally see who she is and what she stands for.

[French-Kiss]

This is the first time I’ve heard her talk. No wonder she keeps getting elected. Common sense and humility.

[jonjahr]

I'm from Michigan, have lived in Texas for over 20 years now. She makes me sooo proud to be a native Michigander. Really hope to see her on the ballot for president some day. AND GO BLUE💙💛💙💛

[darickhibbert]

I'd love to see Gov. Gretch debate Trump. She'd probably make him cry.

Former Republican (now Independent) Michigander here. I must admit I was leery of Whitmer when she first ran for governor of our state. But she has done a fantastic job, and I believe that she could accomplish great things for American citizens if she were elected US President (not to mention restore some much needed dignity to the Oval Office).

[kathlake]

Thanks Stephen, for giving us a chance to know Gov. Whitmer better. She seems like a real jewel of a politician. Is she as honest as Bernie? She appears to be. I have more hope for Democracy with governors like Gov. Gretch!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[katieoberst]

I AM SO PROUD THAT SHE'S MY Thank you, Stephen, for such a great interview!!
