This is one of Gretchen Whitmer’s stories, and I always tell it with a grain of salt and a glass of bourbon. In fact, I would skip the salt and just drink bourbon.
As we all know, Michigan will hold a general election in November 2022 next year. Governor Gretchen Whitmer (Gretchen Whitmer) will face a second term of re-election, and with the outstanding work she has done so far, she will certainly be re-elected very easily.
Sorry, the bourbon started so fast, the room seemed to be spinning.
I want to be polite here, so let’s say that not only did the governor with the slogan “fix the damn road” fail to do this, but she also created bigger potholes in every aspect of the state, as I said in Some places are documented in these articles.
Gretchen Whitmer likes private jets and even flies to Biden’s inauguration.
Governor Whitmer abandons “data” COVID rhetoric, Michigan will now reopen in July.
Republicans in the state are preparing for an interesting primary election, which is expected to compete with a Democrat with a very bad first term. Well, now there is news that she may also face major challenges in her own party, which shows that the Democrats themselves may not be so excited about her.
from Fox 2 Detroit…
In 2022, Michigan will hold a governor election. It has long been thought that Governor Gretchen Whitmer will have no Democratic opponents. But the Genesee County Sheriff said he has not ruled out this possibility.
Well, how about that? The story continues.
After working in the Sheriff’s Department for 27 years, the 47-year-old now refuses to withdraw from a possible governor race, thus creating more political news. If he comes in, it will be unprecedented for a party candidate to challenge the current governor.
He said he was often asked this question and called it likable. But is he running?
“I haven’t made any decisions yet,” he said.
This sentence implies that he has a decision. Didn’t he rule out the possibility of running for governor? He said it would be fair to say so.
Last summer, during the “Black Man’s Life Is Fate” march, Sheriff Swanson lost his riot gear and marched with the protesters, making national headlines. He also praised Whitmer’s executive order to deal with COVID, but announced that his department will not arrest anyone for non-compliance. What all this says to me is that he is not a typical Democrat, and if he decides to run, it may cause some headaches for the governor.
However, few people compete with current incumbents in their own parties—and it almost never works.
The sheriff (or someone close to him) must have contacted Fox 2 reporter Tim Skubick to remind him may be If someone asked him if he wanted to challenge Whitmer’s question, he would get an interesting answer. Otherwise, how could this news leak out?
Personally, I think every elected official should feel that their seats can be competed in every cycle, and we should see more major challenges. If you really want a responsible democratically elected government, that would be a great first step.
Swanson well revealed that this may mean that he may be considering challenging the nomination of his fellow Democrats. Usually, this means that you have no future in the party. As an officially elected sheriff, why should he become a member of the “Defund The Police” party?
He may also be looking for other things, because Michigan Democratic leaders will undoubtedly provide him with something to keep him quiet and wait and see. Everything Whitmer screwed up before 22nd 22nd was in trouble, and the main challenge was to have more time to focus on these screwed up things.
With 16 months to go until next year’s general election (which is not fast enough), it is clear that this state needs a new leadership. If one of Gretchen Whitmer’s fellow Democrats thinks she shouldn’t be the standard bearer of the Democrats, so be it. Let the Democrats engage in intra-party quarrels, and let us make sure that everyone can see it through television. Transparency is very important to the American Republic, as the governor himself might say: this is based on science and data, data and science time and time again.
Let the game begin! !
