There is not a bad candidate among Joe Biden’s short list for running mate. They are all good candidates. They are all winners. One is a superstar, a true Shero.
The global civil society women’s group RINJ has written to former Vice-President Joe Biden urging on behalf of its American members that future President Joe Biden select the Michigan Governor as his running mate.
Leadership experience & legislative background in both state Houses.
According to one of the founding directors of RINJ, Katie Alsop, “the decision was taken based on polling which indicates that the inclusion of Gretchen Whitmer on the Biden ‘ticket’ makes the campaign more winnable. Close scrutiny of the Governor’s career yields a whistle-clean record of stellar experience in the state house of representatives, the state senate and also as governor.”
Every issue is a women’s issue, but when our leaders make decisions without us, we’re set back and left out.@JoeBiden is determined to change that.

Michigan Deserves a Break
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is among American leaders, a superstar. She is Presidential material.
Michigan losing their Governor would be a tearful thing but Gretchen Whitmer, a mother of two is not the kind of person to forget those who brought her to her destiny.
She has served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006 and in the Michigan Senate from 2006 to 2015.
Governor Whitmer has already gained considerable experience standing up to the fascism of Donald Trump who sent his “MAGA Force” armed troops to her office to rattle her.

Contemporary social high-bar paradigms based on class, wealth and personal appearance are isolating masses of people into socially dysfunctional classes.
Trump knows this to be true and is exploiting the rabble with rabble-rousing and muck-raking techniques of the weak and disingenuous politician.
