Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is traveling the state Friday and Saturday to stump for President Joe Biden’s reelection.

There are renewed questions about Biden's mental competency, just as the 2024 primary campaign moves into Michigan and the Super Tuesday states.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer was in Benton Harbor Thursday to promote a big spending plan to build or rehabilitate 10,000 homes across the state.

Republicans were already questioning the cost of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's proposals on Wednesday. That will come into focus at upcoming state budget meetings.

Listen to live, special coverage of Whitmer’s address, the Republican response and analysis beginning this evening at 7 p.m. on Michigan Public.

Reports say Whitmer’s plans include pushing more than $1 billion into affordable housing, creating a tax credit for family caregivers, and free community college for high school graduates.

Michigan's tax revenues will see a slight decline in 2024 before rebounding for two years after that, mostly because of Democrat-drafted tax policy changes.

Money will go toward debt forgiveness at cash-strapped local school districts, and for large capital-improvement projects at colleges and universities.

“Today, Michigan joins every other state in the nation as we create a stronger path to hold drug companies accountable in cases of wrongdoing,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The 13th and 25th district state House seats are vacant because both Democrats who held the seats were elected mayors in elections this month.
