Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she will mention impeachment Tuesday night when she delivers the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
But Whitmer says most of her 10-minute rebuttal will focus on issues such as healthcare, education, and the economy.
“This is really about ensuring the American people understand what Democrats stand for because I believe that American people deserve better, and they deserve action,” she said.

The President won Michigan by the smallest of margins in 2016. It’s widely expected that Republicans and Democrats will battle to win voters in Michigan and other industrial states in the Midwest.
