b'Gretchen Whitmer might be one of the most down-to-earth politicians in America \\u2014 the governor from Michigan began her conversation with Kara with a bawdy joke about menstruation that she takes with her to the debate stage, and at no point during the interview did she hesitate from cursing. But with the calls for President Biden to resign growing louder, the Governor is an unenviable position. She\\u2019s considered a rising star within the party, and potential presidential candidate by some, but as a co-chair for the Biden/Harris re-election campaign she has to toe the line without seeming unaware of concerns that Biden just isn\\u2019t up to the task.\\xa0\\n\\nGovernor Whitmer and Kara discuss the Democratic party\\u2019s current conundrum, as well as her new memoir, True Gretch, the infamous foiled attempt to kidnap and assassinate her, the best way for Biden (or any Democrat) to win Michigan\\u2019s 15 electoral votes, and her campaign slogan for 2028.\\n\\nQuestions?
