Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s upcoming book, titled “True Gretch: What I’ve Learned About Life, Leadership, and Everything in Between,” is set to be released on July 9. This comes at a time when various media outlets are questioning President Biden’s ability to continue in the race. Despite facing scrutiny for signing a seven-figure book deal with Simon & Schuster, Whitmer’s strategic move seems to have paid off according to insiders.
The book deal was reportedly based on the speculation that Biden might need to be replaced in July, leading to growing calls within the party to “draft Gretch.” Although Whitmer is a key figure in Biden’s 2024 campaign, the possibility of her stepping in as a replacement has not been ruled out. With the release of her book, efforts are being made to elevate Whitmer’s profile and make her a household name in the political sphere.
Apart from Whitmer, other names being discussed as potential Biden replacements include Vice President Kamala Harris, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Recent polls have shown that a significant portion of registered voters have doubts about Biden’s mental and cognitive health, with only a minority believing he has the necessary strength to lead effectively.
Despite the speculation and calls for her to step in, Governor Whitmer has publicly expressed support for President Biden and Vice President Harris. In a recent post on social media, she emphasized the importance of re-electing Biden and Harris to protect fundamental freedoms and democracy. While the political landscape remains uncertain, Whitmer’s loyalty to the current administration is evident.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s upcoming book release coincides with a period of political uncertainty and speculation about potential leadership changes. As her profile continues to rise, the question of her role in the future of American politics remains unanswered. With the release of “True Gretch,” Whitmer’s insights into life, leadership, and everything in between may provide valuable perspectives on the current political climate.
