'It's pretty simple. Democrats are trying to make your health care better. Republicans in Washington are trying to take it away,' Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says.
Whitmer reiterated several times that the GOP-controlled Senate is blocking proposals passed by House Democrats. She also suggested that voters should consider how senators vote on Wednesday when they take a vote that's expected to result in Trump's acquittal.
Throughout her remarks, Whitmer referred to Democratic governors across the U.S., such as Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly"working across the aisle to bring Medicaid coverage to tens of thousands" and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham who"enshrined ACA protections into state law." "Every Democrat running for president has a plan to expand health coverage for all Americans. Every one of them has supported the Affordable Care Act with coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. They may have different plans, but the goal is the same," she said.
"American workers are hurting. In my own state. Our neighbors in Wisconsin. And Ohio. And Pennsylvania. All over the country," she said."Wages have stagnated, while CEO pay has skyrocketed."Whitmer has been governor since January 2019. She previously was a county prosecutor and the minority leader of the state Senate.
