Whitmer says she wouldn't rule out being Kamala Harris's running mate

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Tuesday that she would not rule out the possibility of being the 2024 running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris should President Joe Biden step down.

The Michigan governor praised Harris as “an incredibly capable vice president,” and explained that her potentially replacing Biden on the 2024 Democratic ticket would be “the natural conclusion.” When asked if she had any interest in running as Harris’s vice president, she said she has never looked at political positions in Washington, D.C., “with a lot of excitement,” citing her love for state politics.
