Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has drawn attention for her scrapes with President Donald Trump over the federal government’s coronavirus response, is on Joe Biden’s list of potential vice presidential candidates, he said in an interview Tuesday.

The former vice president made the remarks during an appearance on MSNBC, after host Brian Williams asked if Whitmer had “lengthened” Biden’s shortlist due to her performance during the pandemic.

“She hadn’t lengthened the list - she made the list, in my mind, two months ago,” Biden said in a brief clip released by MSNBC.

**SNIP**

“We’ve had a big problem with the young, a woman governor from - you know who I’m talking about - from Michigan,” Trump told Fox News personality Sean Hannity in an interview. “We can’t - we don’t like to see the complaints.”

“Now that I’ve got your attention, Mr. President - attack tweets won’t solve this crisis,” Whitmer, 48, said in a response after Trump criticized her on Twitter. “But swift and clear guidance, tests, personal protective equipment, and resources would.”

I’m still more interested in who the Democrats are planning to run for President this year, rather than VP.

The ONE governor in all of this who Trump has gone out of his way to single out for being mentally deficient.

Biden WANTS to lose Michigan in November and embarrass the Dims in Michigan even more than they are already with their governor.

I figured as much and that would explain her out of control actions regarding the epidemic here in Michigan......She’s milking it for all she can get.

Our Governor is truly dumb enough to accept being Biden’s running mate.

I mean, if she can’t see that Biden is losing it, quickly in fact, she really is Wittless.

What “smart” Democrat would turn down such an offer? Probably most of them!

It’s a "good news, bad news,” situation. The good news is that being President Biden’s political heir would be a direct ticket to the presidency.

The bad news is that, for that very reason, being Biden’s VP candidate would legitimately require that candidate to withstand presidential level scrutiny during the election campaign. And pulling that off so well that the VP candidate would be able to carry Biden over the finish line. Against Trump - who has already labeled her “half."

Imagine if the private sector choose applicants based purely on gender.

Look at large companies lately, especially boards of directors.
