Mackinac Island, Mich. — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a two-term governor from a key battleground state, said Thursday at the Mackinac Policy Conference that she will not run for president in 2028, speaking on the front porch of the Grand Hotel during an on-the-record interview with Detroit's WJBK-TV. Her comments on Thursday follow years of national attention; she said she plans to take a break after leaving office next year and that she has consulted figures including Pete Buttigieg, Gina Raimondo and former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan. The announcement removes a frequently cited potential candidate from early 2028 speculation and refocuses attention on other prospective contenders.
