    Please pick Buttigieg. There’s rumors that he is going to be running for governor in Michigan and there is no chance I’m voting someone who just moved here to be my governor. Yes, his husband counts as a Michigander and I would vote for his husband - just not him. I don’t want to have to vote for someone who’s not really a Michigander and someone who’s going to ruin the State

      How much do you trust the rumors that the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is going to run for governor of Michigan, and why?

        Honestly, I’d say the chances are pretty high. He’s clearly not done with politics. He’s been a damn fine Secretary of Transportation. Harris is now the presumptive nominee and Buttigieg, based on his 2020 decisions, is unlikely to challenge. Whitmer is term limited as well.

        Why do you wish he would leave?

          Some view him as an neoliberal and not in favour of progressive policy. He worked as an analyst for a company while they were contracted by a Canadian grocery store that was fixing bread prices. Who knows what his involvement was but it’s certainly a bad look.

          I’m not informed enough to have a valid opinion but he does come off as someone who is very calculating and not sincere.
