3. The state has really seen a rebirth under Whitmer

She's been the most effective governor of my lifetime. She's gotten so much done in the most difficult times, and she's gotten the other side to come along more times than not.

And I tell this story to give some context. Several months ago a work colleague found a new job so we all went out to lunch. I know a couple of them are total Right Wingers, but it's not something we talk about. We had several people at the table so there were separate conversations going on, these 2 were complaining about all of the Covid safety measures Whitmer put in place to save lives and allow the state to get moving again. One of them matter of fact like stated, "She's out in November right?", the other responded, "Yeah, we'll get her out in November, it won't be close." I kind of chuckled, but didn't interject. She was always getting reelected, she's been outstanding and her approval ratings have been great, especially through Covid. And this was before Roe was overturned.

Republicans in Michigan are in for a rude awakening in November. It's going to be a bloodbath for them.
