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.

“Like physically doing cartwheels,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a fellow Michigan Democrat who also spoke at the event. “They were good! I was impressed.”
