Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to campaign in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh will get a boost from a Rust Belt ally this week as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is set to visit the Steel City to stump for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Whitmer, a Democrat, is popular in her home state and has been rumored as a presidential or vice presidential hopeful in her own right. She spoke at the Democratic National Convention this year in Chicago.

She is hopping on the Harris-Walz “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour. Whitmer will be accompanied by Tony Goldwyn, an actor and director best known for his work in the TV show “Scandal.”

Whitmer is known in her home state as “Big Gretch,” a nickname coined by Detroit comedy rapper Gmac Cash. Over the summer, she released a memoir, “True Gretch: What I’ve Learned About Life, Leadership, and Everything in Between.”
