She says she supports Joe Biden and is loyal to him 100% but at the same time she is telling people that Biden is going to lose Michigan because of the debate. That's basically telling people he can't win the presidency because if he loses the Midwest then Trump will win again like he did in 2016. Gretchen Whitmer is not loyal at all and can't be trusted. If she replaces Joe Biden the democrats will try to paint a picture of her as some great person, but don't fall for it. This is a standard opportunist politician with no real values. She's just another Hillary Clinton.

Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor seen as one of the Democrats’ best prospects to replace Joe Biden, has ruled out running, Politico reported Monday.
But the swing state leader delivered a damning message to the campaign aide whom she called, the outlet’s Jonathan Martin reported, saying that the president’s debate performance will cost him Michigan.
Whitmer called the campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon Friday, after a day of frenzied speculation that she would be a frontrunner if Biden could be persuaded to quit. The second-term swing state governor, however, told O’Malley Dillon that she “hated” her name being floated and that she was loyal to the president.
Intriguingly, the other part of her message–the loss of one of the three states Democrats see as crucial to victory–was leaked by a third party described by Martin as “a potential 2028 Whitmer rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.” That leak suggests a degree of bitter infighting behind the scenes among Democrats who are now positioning themselves for an after-Biden moment which could come, some think, within days.
