Gretchen Whitmer would have to weigh the fact that most of the Democratic Party machinery, including Joe Biden and all of his staff, would be very unhappy if she ran. If they ran a campaign that was very respectful, didn't go after Biden, didn't try to tear the party apart with some huge ideological battle, I think it's possible. But there is a risk profile to this that is much higher than what Marcus is accounting for in his piece,. which is why he thinks it's unlikely to happen. And what happens to Gretchen Whitmer, who did not ask to be part of this conversation? Yes, but we should remove her from this narrative immediately.
