'I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan — prove it,' Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tweeted after President Trump lashed out at her.
Trump said Thursday he had a"big problem" with the"young, a woman governor" in Michigan, complaining that"all she does is sit there and blame the federal government." On Friday, he said that he told Vice President Mike Pence,"don't call the woman in Michigan," and later referred to her as"Gretchen 'Half' Whitmer" in a tweet and said she is"way in over her head" and"doesn't have a clue.
Biden defended Whitmer in a statement on Friday, saying, Trump could"learn a thing or two from Governor Whitmer -- speed matters, details matter, and people matter."But far more urgent is the reality of the pandemic in the state. Michigan had at least 4,659 confirmed coronavirus cases as of Saturday, with at least 111 dead. The state -- and particularly the Detroit area -- has emerged in recent days as a coronavirus hot spot.
