Not so fast…
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is pouring cold water on rumors she will share the ballot with Kamala Harris this November.
“No, I'm not going anywhere,” Whitmer told 6 News after a Lansing event when asked if she would accept the vice presidential slot if it were offered.
Whitmer endorsed Harris in a Monday statement and she remains a co-chair for the campaign.
“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,” the governor wrote.
Whitmer also recently shot down rumors she could be a replacement for President Joe Biden, ahead of him officially dropping from the race.
Earlier this month, Politico reported that sources close to the Governor revealed she admitted to the Biden campaign that the state is likely “unwinnable” after the shocking debate performance. However, Whitme dismissed the report as false.
Prior to Biden's withdrawal from the race Whitmer initially sparked VP rumors with a recent interview on “The View.” (RELATED: Governor Signals Openness To Being Kamala Harris' Running Mate)
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.
“But, you know, I'll never say never, but that's not something I am angling for,” Whitmer said noting how she made a commitment to finish her gubernatorial term.
