Whitmer Says Biden Won’t Pick Her as Running Mate

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) tamped down speculation that she would be picked as Joe Biden’s running mate, the Detroit News reports.

Said Whitmer: “I think it’s important that he has a woman running mate, to be honest. I think that there are a lot of phenomenal potential running mates for him.”

She added: “I’m going to help him vet and make sure he’s got a great running mate. It is not going to be me. But I’m going to have a hand in helping make sure that that he has got the rounded out ticket that can win.”
