THE VICE PRESIDENT: Greetings, everyone. I am so honored, as I’ve always been, to share a stage with Gretchen Whitmer. And she and I have shared many stages over a great amount of time through the — some of the highs and the lows of what our country has experienced. And I will tell you what I know you all know, as longstanding friends and supporters of hers: She’s an extraordinary, courageous, brilliant, committed leader not only for Michigan, but she is a national leader.
And I was with the President this morning in the Oval Office for a couple of meetings, and I said, “I’m heading to Detroit,” and he said, “Give Gretchen all my best and remind everyone of what you and I…” — meaning he and I — “…have talked about,” which is the President and I stand with Gretchen Whitmer. We stand with her. (Applause.) And we will continue to stand with her.
