Ms Whitmer was understood to be on the shortlist of candidates for Mr Biden’s running mate before he picked Kamala Harris, and is among the favourites to be given a cabinet role instead. But in an interview given to the WDIV Detroit news network on Sunday, when asked if she was set to join the Biden administration, Ms Whitmer’s answer was an unequivocal no. Ms Whitmer reportedly pulled out of consideration to be Mr Biden’s running mate on the basis that he should choose a Black woman instead, and she also praised the vice president-elect on Sunday.
