In her first term, Michigan's Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer weathered the ire of MAGA Republicans and the former president, as well as a foiled kidnapping plot. Now in her second term, and armed with a Democratic-led legislature, Whitmer is pushing gun control measures and protections for LGBTQ rights and labor unions, while enshrining reproductive rights in the state's constitution. She talks with correspondent Martha Teichner about her agenda, and how she turned Donald Trump's label for her ("That woman from Michigan") into a badge of honor.

    This misses a big point. There would be no Democratic legislature if the people of Michigan had not said no to gerrymandering and voted to take redistricting out of the hands of the legislature.
  • @stoneyll
    Way to go Michigan~! 4 of her attempted kidnappers are now convicted and serving time in prison, where they belong.

    As a local news reporter in Michigan on leave right now because of PTSD triggered by the shooting at Michigan State, thank you CBS Sunday Morning team for doing what you do best — crafting news stories with hope and heart. I certainly needed it right now.
  • @mrfourtysevenman
    I dont even like democrats but her and Detroit mayor are doing a rockstar job
  • @cameronl1859
    Gotta love the "Heil Witmer" sign. That lady thinks she knows something about Whitmer that she needs to share with the people and can't even spell Whitmer's name right?
  • @nene1964
    She’s so awesome. Kamala truly could not go wrong with any one of the VP contenders. 💙
  • @jcx5659
    Gretchen surely gets the repubes triggered.
  • @yvonnecamperriovista225
    I have been following her since the then president singled her out. What they did in Michigan to get her message and the peoples message out has changed this state. We need more people like her in government. I hope she remains safe and well, she is what we need in this country, I’d vote her if she eventually runs for president.
  • @meknotewe8155
    Strong, smart, intelligent woman is she!! Makes adolfa taylor green & adolfa boebert look really pathetic!!
  • @BMinus0593
    Don’t necessarily agree with all of her policies, but in general she’s been good for Michigan. And certainly better than anything the train wreck Michigan Republican Party has to offer.
  • @be6715
    No doubt she made mistakes, but she does have grit, and deserves respect from both sides of any aisle. Next, please do a story as to why the Yahoos were allowed to carry guns into the g.d. State Capitol.
  • @margaretmwilliams9554
    That's My Gov! Too bad she is term limited, but Michigan's loss may be the United States' gain.
  • @paulwarren796

    Gretchen should give a full refund to Michigan drivers for the unconstitutional DRIVERS RESPONSIBILITY FEES granholm forced onto them.
