Published July 22, 2024 1:21pm ET



Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said she would not take a vice presidential spot on the Democratic ticket alongside Vice President Kamala Harris but is supportive of Harris’s bid.

The Michigan governor endorsed Harris earlier on Monday, a day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential election and endorsed Harris to replace him at the top of the ticket. Whitmer told WLNS on Monday that she is “not going anywhere” when asked if she would accept being the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee.
