say no. absolutely. thank you for incredibly. doing that. the battle for the american presidency in 2024 will likely come to another battle of the blue wall including michigan and wisconsin. two reliably democratic states that flipped and led to donald trump s victory. votes for jill stein in both states in 2016 were larger than the vote difference between trump and hillary clinton. joe biden won back both states in 2020. winning michigan, wisconsin, and that pushed him to 270 electoral votes before georgia and arizona so it cannot be overstated how critical these battleground states are. and today, donald trump took his election denying xenophobic stump speech to michigan. our first guest tonight will be michigan s democratic governor gretchen whitmer who will join me in just a moment. trump started his day in michigan where they launched a new billboard campaign to remind everyone that he lobbied republicans to tank the bipartisan security bill. he lost to joe biden by
