Biden Still Dodges Calls to End Campaign
Whitmer Joins Harris's Team
Michigan's Governor Endorses Former VP
President Biden continued to work on Monday to tamp down Democratic calls for him to end his campaign. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined a call of Harris for President staff on Sunday throwing her support behind former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Whitmer is the governor of Michigan and also co-chair of the Biden-Harris reelection campaign. In December 2013, Whitmer was the minority leader in the Michigan state senate when she made the move that catapulted her to national prominence. She endorsed Kamala Harris on Monday morning, becoming the latest Democrat who had been floated as a potential presidential candidate to throw their support behind Harris.
Whitmer's endorsement is a significant boost for Harris's campaign. Whitmer is a popular figure in Michigan, and her endorsement could help Harris win the state's primary. Michigan is a key swing state, and it could play a decisive role in the 2024 presidential election.
The endorsement is also a sign of growing unease within the Democratic Party. Many Democrats are concerned about Biden's age and his ability to win reelection. Harris is seen as a more electable candidate, and her campaign is gaining momentum.
