Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is officially endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden on top of the Democratic Party ticket.
Whitmer released a full statement on Monday morning, a day after Biden decided to drop out of the race, while endorsing his VP to replace him.

Today, I am fired up to endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States.
In Vice President Harris, Michigan voters have a presidential candidate they can count on to focus on lowering their costs, restoring their freedoms, bringing jobs and supply chains back home from overseas, and building an economy that works for working people. She’s a former prosecutor, a champion for reproductive freedom, and I know that she’s got Michigan’s back.
That’s in stark contrast to Donald Trump, a convicted felon who stokes violence, overturned Roe, attacked our auto industry which hardworking families depend on, left office after losing 100,000 manufacturing jobs, and drove our economy into the ground last time he was in the White House.
Vice President Harris has my full support.
So Michigan, let’s get to work. We cannot let Donald Trump anywhere near the White House.
Let’s go!
