Whitmer Asks GOP to Find Common Ground

Published: Jan. 28, 2021, 10:15 p.m.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer made a peace offering to Republicans in her third State of the State address on Wednesday night. That’s as Republicans have ramped up their resistance to her COVID-19 restrictions. The speech was delivered from the quiet of Whitmer’s Capitol office instead of before a live audience.  GUESTS: Rick Pluta is the State Capitol bureau chief for Michigan Public Radio Network.  Laura Weber Davis is the executive producer of Stateside.
