In a recent appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, co-chair of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, attempted to defend Harris’ policy positions. What followed was a discussion that left many Republicans shaking their heads.

A Rocky Start

The interview quickly veered off course when host Kristen Welker questioned Whitmer about President Joe Biden’s historically low approval ratings. Welker asked if Harris should distance herself from Biden. Whitmer praised the president as one of the greatest in recent history and emphasized Harris’ significant role in the administration.

The Policy Quagmire

Whitmer and Welker tackled several of Harris’ controversial policies, including her proposed “price gouging” ban on food companies, immigration, and healthcare. Each topic presented challenges for Whitmer, as she struggled to support the vice president’s stances convincingly.

Republican Reaction

For Republicans, the interview was a prime example of the difficulties Harris and her campaign face. Whitmer’s attempts to rally support for Harris effectively highlighted the contentious nature of the policies at play.

Overall, the exchange served as a reminder of the uphill battle Harris faces in gaining broader support—a challenge not easily rectified through campaign co-chair appearances.
