minus-squareMagicShel@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·5 months agoI love Whitmer. She’s my Governor, and I think she’d be an amazing President. But I really don’t think folks in Pennsylvania or Georgia know who she is. Maybe with enough appearances that could change, but we’re getting down to the wire.
