Whitmer should be our nominee for President.

I am fond of the idea but that's not a topic we should go into here.

A way to get at the same idea while staying within permissive topics: she's unlikely to run for senate in 2026 due to having conflicting ambitions.

I cannot imagine her primarying Peters for that matter, and there's no reasons I know of to expect him to retire, either.

she's running for 1 office and that office is not up in 2026

Campaigns for that other office would be starting right after the midterms. They are not occurring in the same year but the timing does not work well for someone who already has a high enough perch to make a credible run.

I'll give credit for Whitmer:

She has on multiple occasions shut down chatter about running for POTUS in that she's not looking to do it. I believe this is because she was mainly interested in being dedicated for being Governor of MI. I just don't see her to have enough of an ego to want to be POTUS to begin with.

I'll just say in general I hope we have at least one spot on the ticket reserved for someone from MI, PA or WI and leave it at that.
