Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that New York State will eventually require people to get a booster shot to meet the state’s vaccination requirements for COVID-19. Tur asked, “Let me ask you this. Are you going to change the requirement for what fully vaccinated means?

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's plan to suspend immigration is distracting from efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and part of "inconsistent messages" that spread fear and put the public in "greater danger." Trump's pronouncements about freezing immigration are "scary" for immigrants, family members hoping to immigrate to the U.S., farmers who rely on seasonal migrant workers and Canadian nurses who work in Michigan, the Democratic governor said in an interview with The Associated Press.

There's only one winnable choice for Joe Biden's vice president pick: "The woman in Michigan," as our incumbent President calls Gretchen Whitmer.

When historians look back at America's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, they likely will cite Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as the best example of how not to contain a pandemic in your state. The Democratic governor has turned her state into the heart of COVID-19 resistance. On Wednesday, protesters shut down the roads in Lansing, the state's capital, in a protest dubbed "Operation Gridlock." Whitmer responded to the outrage of her constituents thusly: "I know that people are angry and that's OK, and if you want to take it out and send it my way, if it makes you feel...

Now, tens of thousands of people have put their names on an online recall petition in an effort to push her out of office. The effort to oppose Governor Whitmer has quickly picked up momentum. Residents across Michigan are expressing anger at the new order that denies people the right to garden, do home improvements, meet with neighbors, see relatives or even use a second home or cottage they own somewhere else...
