Biden defends Michigan governor after Trump criticism [View all]
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday defended Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) after she came under withering criticism from President Trump.
“Facing a dangerous abdication of leadership from Donald Trump during this pandemic, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been a tenacious fighter for Michigan families,” Biden said in a statement released by his presidential campaign.
The statement comes amid a weekslong feud between Whitmer and Trump, with the governor making public pleas for the Trump administration to provide assistance for the state to obtain medical equipment amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Whitmer has hammered what she says was a slow response by Trump at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. She also claimed in an interview with a local media outlet Friday that vendors that have contracts with the state are being told “not to send stuff to Michigan.”
