(Detroit Metro Times) Detroit rapper GMac Cash coined the nickname “Big Gretch” for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in his 2020 single. Now, the Democrat is embracing a variation of the moniker for her upcoming memoir True Gretch: What I’ve Learned About Life, Leadership, and Everything in Between.

2. Let's hope so.

Whitmer, with just a one seat majority in the legislature, has governed fearlessly and unhesitatingly this term, passing bill after bill of progressive legislation, protecting reproductive rights, voting rights, gun safety, unions, and so much more.

She is my current favorite for 2028.

We are so very fortunate to have her as our governor. I would welcome her as our President also.
