Gretchen Whitmer

We have committed to being carbon neutral by 2050, a goal that is aggressive and means that we are going to have to work together to achieve it.

Well, in Michigan right now we are positive the rate is around 3%. It's one of the lowest in the nation, we have gotten over 1.7 million shots in arms, one of the highest in the nation.

Equity is an important aspect back to us making sure that we get these vaccines out. And the Biden administration is focused on it. My administration is focused on it.

I think they will, absolutely. I mean, there are going to be setbacks. There are things that will happen that we can't control. But what the Biden administration can control they are doing very well.

We need a partner in Washington D.C. that will get us everything that we need in order for us to fulfill that goal, and this administration hasn't done it.

The fact that the U.S. Senate is blocking this additional aid for people is horrifying.

I'm glad that the President signed the bill. I'm sad that he took a week to go play golf and not get it done quicker.

You yourself can be carrying it, and you might not know it. It would be the worst thing in the world is to go to church to worship and to sit next to someone and infect them.

The federal government is slow-walking the process of getting the addresses to Pfizer for some reason I cannot get an answer to.

It's really unconscionable that Pfizer tells us, and Pfizer is about an hour and a half from where I am right now, their plant portage, that they have doses, millions of doses waiting and our governor is just begging the federal government…

I still cannot get a straight answer out of the Trump administration about why Michigan like many other states is receiving a fraction of the vaccines that we were slated to receive.

It's time to move forward, and it's time for anyone who is a statesperson to declare this election over and to call on people to take actions to support the incoming administration.

To give statehood to D.C. would be a huge win for D.C. residents, but it'd be a huge win for everybody who wants to, you know, solve climate change or get health care or, you know, have a better Supreme Court.

This is unacceptable. Threats against our elected officials or any office holder, no matter their party, are not acceptable. They are unlawful and they are unacceptable. Hate and violence have no place in Michigan.

I really think that Joe Biden as our president will be a big step in the right direction.

I think it's really dangerous, to be honest. The fact that our two highest-ranking Republicans in the legislature are going to the White House... But we're all assuming he's going to try to implore them... to do whatever they can to not…

The vote margin actually in Michigan is now 157,000 votes. That is 14 times the vote margin that Trump won Michigan in 2016... They will be Joe Biden electors, and he will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on January…

I think it just tells you that words matter and the words of our leaders' matter. I mean, the incredible vitriol that is being waged... It is undermining our democracy, and these latest attempts around this election are just an extension…

We need resources. We need support. We need leaders who are going to be accurate with the medical information they dispense and stop the politics around this public health crisis because it's killing people.

We are doing the best we can to keep the people of the state safe.

COVID-19 does not care about your politics. COVID-19 does not care about the legislature being on their hunting break, when we are in literally the worst of our COVID outbreak since this began nine months ago. COVID-19 doesn't care if you…

They have taken the other side in terms the war against the virus.

Listen, if anyone can get it done, it's Joe Biden.

That's right. So, Joy, Wayne County is where the city of Detroit is located. It is the largest county in our state. It is -- there's overwhelming vote and these partisans have decided not to do their legal duty. And their rationale is not…

As hard as it is not seeing them this Thanksgiving imagine how much harder it would be if you weren't able to see them for a future holiday ever again.
