The first time I saw her on tv my reaction was "Presidential material". I immediately went to her wiki entry and found out she was a communications major as an undergrad. All want-a-be politicians should be communications majors.
Also helps that both of her parents were attorneys and her mother was assistance AG for Michigan.
I am thinking a Harris/Whitmer ticket or the other way around.

She will play a role in the future of the national Democratic Party.

Snip:
Whitmer vaults into national spotlight with double-digit reelection win
...
As Gov. Gretchen Whitmer waited to speak at a campaign event Saturday night in Detroit, the 51-year-old mother of two joined her junior staffers in turning a cartwheel backstage.
Like physically doing cartwheels, said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a fellow Michigan Democrat who also spoke at the event. They were good! I was impressed.
