    Damn, what the hell. That’s a huge L for a governor that’s been good up to this point. What could she be thinking?

    The conciliatory tone is a shift for the governor, who clashed with Trump during his first term. He called her “that woman from Michigan,” criticized her COVID-19 pandemic response and agreed with his followers’ chants that she should be imprisoned.

    Whitmer had previously said Trump was “complicit” in a right-wing militia plot to kidnap her by stoking extremism. She wrote in The Atlantic that she and her family faced “a surge of vicious attacks” whenever he publicly attacked her.

    ???

    Is she being blackmailed or something?

      And it’s not like she’s running for re-election, there’s no reason she shouldn’t take the gloves off
