Governor Gretchen Whitmer joins Jen Psaki to discuss gun reform and abortion rights in the state of Michigan, and her political future.

 While other states are engaged in the business of bigotry, we're protecting fundamental rights. 

As Michigan's governor, Gretchen Whitmer’ll always defend the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community.  If you seek a pleasant peninsula (or two) where your rights are protected, look no further!


The sister of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., is reportedly considering a congressional run in New York, as Democrats set their sights on flipping back a once-blue seat in the state.

Liz Whitmer Gereghty, sister of the Democratic Governor, currently resides in Westchester County, New York, and is reportedly considering launching her campaign in April.

Two anonymous individuals close to the rumored candidate told Politico that Democrats are recruiting Gereghty to run for New York's 17th Congressional District, a house seat flipped red by Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N-Y., in the 2022 midterms.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer won re-election in Michigan by a large margin last cycle, however, the seat eyed for her sister was recently turned red despite New York being a predominantly Democratic state.

Freshman Rep. Lawler ousted Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney last cycle, the then-representative who chaired of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) at the time of his defeat.

At this time, Gereghty has not officially confirmed a run in the swing district.

"I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
