Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday at the Mackinac Policy Conference that she will not seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. Whitmer, WHO delivered the conference’s opening address Wednesday morning, told attendees there "will be a robust group of people" running and she is not entering the race. Her decision removes a high-profile Midwest governor from the expected Democratic primary field and lets her keep focus on state policy in Michigan.
