Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" | full interview 

I wish Governor Whitmer was running for president so that we had a young Democrat in the race. She is young and a real Democrat to continue what President Biden has begun.

Whitmer handled this snarky interview with grace and firmness.

I really like Governor Whitmer & wish more people in Politics would conduct themselves as she does. 👍🏼👍🏾🙏🏻🙏🏾

Dammit Whitmer knocks every pitch out of the ballpark s

Whitmer is correct. Congress shouldn't be picking anything re abortion rights as far as term limits to abort.

Congrats to Gov Whitmer for handling a smiley smarmy antagonistic interviewer with such grace.

There are 3 million people in Iowa. Only about 100,000 people voted. Trump had 53,000. And the other three split the other 50,000. How can you say Trump is going to win when only 53,000 people came out and voted for him? I don’t get it.

Niki Haley also wants to raise retirement age to 70. Her policies are not popular. Republican policies are not popular.

After 24 weeks fetus has 90% viability for a normal life. That drops dramatically less than 24 weeks where fetus may, through enormous medical effort, survive but would have extreme physical and mental disabilities. Only the woman should make the decision for her health, her family and her future.

And this is why I love my Gov!!!!

Frank Bruni from the NYT said “she looks like a 40s movie star, thinks like a 5 star general and talks like someone at the local pub.” Gretchen 2028!

Great interview; I wonder if Ms. Brennan was aware that Biden-Harris dropped a new rights ad today, and are campaigning in Virginia on this topic

Brennan brings up childcare without mentioning that a Trump administration would do nothing and have no legitimate plan to deal with that issue.

Margaret needs some training to be able to deal with a graceful governor. Try again later!

Brennan acting like a member of the freedum caucus. Great job Gov Whitmer!

This governor is very good the interviewer is trying so hard that she’s coming across as desperate to score points

What a blistering, and at times, hateful, GOP talking points driven interview by Margaret Brennan. Governor Whitmer was fantastic. This type of media dialogue from CBS is both disgusting and destructive.

Let me tell you why the perception that the American economy is not doing well is because of the media just like you Margaret!!!! The American economy is doing great and yet you don’t stop harping that the perception is poor???!!!!

Gov. Whitmer is exceptionally calm and collected in the interview and keeps her responses within her own realm of expertise. My own family had resided in Michigan for many years and I loved spending summers there on Devil's Lake.

GOP needs to take their hands out of woman's underwater, our private is PRIVATE as it states. Pass law for better Healthcare, family paid leave and affordable childcare...start with those who are here and poor, improve their lives.

Is Margaret Brennan a Republican? She sure sounds like one, always critical, and not a mention of any positive accomplishment by Biden's administration. Whitmer for President!

I would love to see a Whitmer - Newsom Presidential run. Michigan and California dems can set this country in a good direction

6:55 "When you say national ban, what do you mean?" Assuming she's being honest... how does a journalist not know what a national ban is?

I love listening to intelligent and beautiful women.❤🎖️💯

As a woman I can't help but notice how the commentator's on this show and Meet the Press seem to ask less hard questions and follow up questions when interviewing the Republicans. Why is that and am I the only one who has noticed this?

I honestly believe she has the right stuff to be president I don’t agree with everything she does but she has the intangibles class and grit the right stuff the only person in politics that should be president

Proud of Big Gretch 😎

Whitmer should be President. She’s exactly what our country needs right now💯

Whitmer: intelligence, rationality and compassion! ❤️💪🥰

Great respect for Governor Whitmer. We support women’s right to access basic health care including abortion rights

Pay attention to the Governer,... you might just learn something by osmosis Margret.

Biden is not restricted by a "Catholic" position on abortion. Even the Pope has softened in some areas. The Pope supports the good Biden does, because the Pope prioritizes social justice in general FIRST, before fighting for a pro-lfe agenda. Biden has the choice to choose social justice first, before pushing abortion bans, and imo, thats where he would go. I could say a lot more.

Great Governor. Class act.

Marge is horrible. So there aren't the votes for a national ban, but there are votes for expanding childcare? Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth.

I love our Governor. She has done so much for our State. I would love to see her run for president. ❤

Kristie Noem, Huckabee Sanders, Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, Ron de Santis : this is how a caring and responsible Governor behaves, not as a bully intending to force her bigotry and intolerance on her state, but listening to all her constituents and finding solutions. She does not turn Michiganders against each other, she does not promote hate against fellow citizens. Very impressed by Gov. Whitmer's composure, her courage and her refusal to be bullied.

Pro-choice pro-democracy, thank you governor Whitmer 100%.

Thank you Governor! I really appreciate you and your focus on these answers. You say it well.🌱👏

She is what gop fear…a smart, strong woman.

Sure wish Gov Whitmer could be V.P.

BIG GRETCH! ❤❤❤

Michiganders have been well served by their female Governors. So proud of Whitmer.

OMG! Margaret actually let the Governor speak without constant interruption! Thank you for a good interview.

Whitmer is doing a phenomenally fantastic job of governing Michigan.

Love her! She is a great voice of reason.

Future Madam President Whitmer! 💙💙💙

Keep the discussion of abortion simple! If you got a hundred of the best doctors in the country and asked them to pinpoint the amount of weeks to limit abortions, without endangering the women, could they provide an answer? I don't think they could, doctors don't always agree, that's why we get second opinions. If doctors can't provide logic for a law, what makes anybody think the clowns in office can? Look at our federal government and imagine what a state government has! The dog has caught the car!

Brennan is annoying me here. Why is she attacking this opinion?

Thank you!

Govenor Gretchen Whitmer is a beautiful person inside and out, she completely understands what is at stake for our Daughters, Mothers, Sisters, ahe understands what true/real family values are, they are personal and effect every part of someones life. You can tell she cares about the individual as a whole and you can see that she is a wonderful and loving Mother most of all ❤❤❤ I support Gretchen Whitmer, she makes the future look bright!

Margaret your republicism is on full view.

This Governor is beginning to grow on me.

If she doesn’t run in 2028, that would be a major waste of talent

Whitmer is the most impressive Democrat in the game. Hope she run in 2028!

Why doesn’t she say about not putting a number a week for viability. Why doesn’t she mention the low % of late term, and that almost ALL is because there is a medical emergency!! And that’s why it needs to be up to the doctor, and the family! Remember ALL the movies where the doctor asks the Husband, “It’s the mother or the child!!” The movie always shows both surviving. Unfortunately, in these circumstances, one or both don’t survive. No mother wants a late term abortion!! Most of the time, these occur when the baby has already passed and the mother’s body doesn’t go into labor and the baby becomes toxic to the mother. The doctor then needs to save the mother’s life. It’s tragic and sad. And that’s the sad truth. I don’t understand how a politician can’t have a conversation about the truth. A vulnerable, candid, compassionate conversation about the sad truth. That the percentage is low, but that also we have the highest maternal death rate of any industrial country!! That within that low percentage of late term abortions, it’s a medical emergency, and that it’s nothing but tragic!! Ask any OB!! But OB’s are terrified to speak on this!!

The journalist really thought she had a load of "gotcha" questions, but the Governor calmly intellectually sliced her up, masterclass.

What a sweet lady. It would be nice if more politicians acted like librarians instead of UFC fighters.

Margaret asked good tough questions of Governor Witmer. I watched her 2 other interviews today with sarah and nikki and she let them get away with diatribe and crap. Just noticing.

When is anyone going to address the FACT that women are NOT equal in America? Equal rights amendment….c’mon!!!! It’s 2024 already………..

She is the face of True Family Values, ❤💙💙💙❤️

Love my Governor Gretchen ❤

This hero speaks the truth.

Even as an atheist, I see the traditional U.S. policy of supporting Israel as very divisive. This is because in many instances, Israel's position is flat out wrong. This has been especially true during Netanyahu's leadership. Even before the Hamas atrocities, Netanyahu's administration declared the multi-decade old proposition of a 'two state' Palestinian solution as 'Dead'. Yet here we are again, pumping $$ billions $$ of weapons into Israel while in a most indiscriminate manner, Netanyahu is slaughtering tens of thousands of citizens and has already damaged some ~70% of the entirety of Gaza. In response to Blinken's and Biden's renewed call for a two state (or ANY) solution, Netanyahu basically told them to 'Buzz off. Mind your own business'. Some within Netanyahu's administration have gone so far as to openly advocate evicting all from Gaza, and that Israel should claim Gaza. That drew massive international criticism. It was then explained away as an 'opinion'. In reality, it was much more than that. Dissidents have noted that the targeted destruction of high rises, hospitals, water and power systems, bombing of supposed 'safe' areas, and excessive restrictions on food, medicine, etc., is all meant to render Gaza uninhabitable. If only 1% of the 2 million who have had their family and friends killed, their homes and neighborhoods destroyed, been left stranded in tents in so called 'safe' areas that are bombed anyway, and deprived of food, water, power, and first aid, become sufficiently provoked into joining an entity as extreme as Hamas, then Israel has already recruited 20,000 new, aspiring anti-Israeli terrorists. The U.S. is not obligated to cater to Netanyahu, especially when his long term plans are only compounding the problem. If we continue supplying military aid, while Netanyahu offers ZERO towards a long term solution, then Netanyahu is dictating U.S. middle east policy. We need to correct that.

Why is Margaret so quick to defend #45. "The math isn't adding up" is not an objective statement. It certainly is not a question.

Go Blue!💙💙💙

Great Presidential Candidate!

My god. What a total babe

Gretchen as well as Kathy Hochul would make great presidential candidates. Both have executive experience and are knowledgeable and competent.

Biden presents the best leadership sinces FDR and the electorate doesn't get its.

I'd vote for her as president.

Fine

Gavin Newsom/Big Gretch 2028!!! 🇺🇸

In case Joe Biden is out, she'll be in.

Joe Biden needs to be addressing the fact that things are not great for everyone on the job front. There's a huge group of older technology workers looking for jobs right now. Many that are not physically able to work the type of jobs that are available. Tech companies have done significant layoffs. Even those who are physically capable of taking the available jobs see a huge pay decrease.

The economy will get better. We just came out of the pandemic and Biden’s numbers look great. Why doesn’t anyone talk about that?

There she goes again, another negative statement. Brennan, you are not any better than Chuck.

Dems should have chosen her for 2024 election.

Go Gov Whitmer!!!! ❤

Is this Journalist not listening to Kamala Harris??? The VP talks about this issue everyday.. am not even in America and I know Joe and Harris talk about this constantly.. just days ago VP was on the view show.. tomorrow she will be with Laura Coats CNN.. I bet she will talk about it again

Gretchen for president in 2028 💙💙💙😊😇

There is something about Michigan a weird class of people that I I like it’s not something you can put your finger on and I am from Wisconsin

We also cannot rely on McConnell keeping the filibuster.

I wonder when the ruling class is going to figure out that the people are smarter than they are? How long do you think it will take them to catch on? 🤨

Another honorable Democratic politician... VOTE 💙 2024 💙 to preserve Democracy and protect Social Security and Medicare Medicaid and make the billionaire's pay their fair share of taxes and protect a woman's right to choose!!! 💙 Go Blue 💙!!!

Whitmer should be running instead of Biden

This is a great comment section

I think covenor knows what is she trying to do! Governor give her what she don't want to hear, good for her Thank you governor

We have got to be able to vote for talent like Gretchen Whitmer for President. The only way to be sure to beat Trump

Do you see the ghoul yet..

Is this reporter stumping for MAGAs? I’m all for asking important questions, but her mannerism is definitely right leaning.

It should remain a state by state decision. Each state is a laboratory of democracy.

Whitmer is the strongest and most effective communicator in the Democratic Party.

The cost of living housing market has always been up and down ,always, under Democrats and Republicans it will level out.People need to quit clutching their pearls. Affordable housing has always been an issue in this country. You will always have to have a big down payment even if interest rates are down. So young people out there keep saving your money you’ll have your chance.

FLINT IS STILL SUFFERING NO MONEY NO HELP

Absolutely!!!

Whitmer 28’

Every time I see Whitmer on TV, she remind me of an angel. She will be the future President in USA.

Great Point! 4:25

I'm an independent, voter , at least she lowered car insurance , how will she earn my vote this time? Let's have common sense in government
