(WXYZ) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will be one of two people who will deliver the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union on Feb. 4.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made the announcement on Friday.

Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar will deliver the Spanish language response to the speech.

"Governor Whitmer's dedication to Michiganders is a model for public servants everywhere. Thanks to her tireless efforts, thousands more families across the state have access to quality health care, safer drinking water and the opportunity for a good-paying job," Schumer said in a release. "Whether it's pledging to 'Fix the Damn Roads' or investing in climate solutions, Governor Whitmer's vision for the future is exactly what this country needs, and I'm thrilled she is giving the Democratic response.”

2. Great Choice

She is fantastic, as are AG Nessel and SOS Benson. I hope to see two of them as Michigan's U.S. Senators one day.

4. But no podium, please.

6. Whoosh

Sorry, I think your comment went over my head, Randy. What's that mean?

3. After what surely will be an off-the-rails loony SOTU,

hearing a sane adult will be welcome.

5. I met Gretchen and a few months

later I saw her again. She remembered my name, first and last. Sharp lady.

7. Get Joe Pesci to do it

His opening statement from My Cousin Vinny sums up any Trump speech.
