Gov. Whitmer on West Michigan's Morning News: 'A lot of hard work' needed

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer says Democrats have a lot of work to do yet, if they hope win at the ballot box in the Nov. 5 election.

She was a guest Wednesday on West Michigan's Morning News.

"We've got to be very sober about how much work there is to do," Whitmer told WOOD Radio. "We've got to earn the votes ... in a very continued, divided country. And so, that's both conversations on the ground, the door-knocking, the registration. Sharing with your networks why you think this is so important."

Whitmer co-chairs the re-election campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president.

"I think a Harris-Walz ticket is one that is really going to stay focused on economic opportunity, making people's lives better. If you juxtapose that with the lack of vision on the other (Republican) side. A lack of priorities, the lack of a record," she said.

The Governor was asked how the Harris economic plan might differ from President Biden's policy. Her reply focused on what the Biden-Harris Administration has accomplished.

"We've got onshoring of supply chains and growth in manufacturing, which would not have happened but for the Biden-Harris administration, which got the (Inflation Reduction Act) done and the CHIPS Act done. We are seeing huge investment and that's good-paying jobs in a state like Michigan and all across the country," Whitmer said.
