Whitmer: Michigan No Longer Winnable by Biden

Even more revealing is how word of the call reached me: from someone close to a potential 2028 Whitmer rival for the Democratic presidential nomination. This person said Whitmer had phoned O’Malley Dillon with more of an unambiguous SOS: to relay that Michigan, in the wake of the debate, was no longer winnable for Biden.

This is the kind of thing I need to see to move from Keep Biden to Dump Biden.

I’m with this Dem gov:

“The temperature is high,” one Democratic governor told me Sunday about sentiment among the party’s state executives. “A lot of anxiety, a lot of folks at the edge of their seat.”

This governor said the party was likely best off sticking with Biden, but reserved the right to revise and extend that assessment based on the president’s polling and fundraising by mid-July.
