Whitmer seems like a pretty good option, at least from what I've picked up - staunchly progressive but not so radical that centrist Dems will freak on her, successful state-based results, clearly going to run for election someday, and picking a Midwesterner would surely help them in the crucial swing states (only one Dem in the last 50 years has lost their home state, and that was Gore in Tennessee lmao; Whitmer's from Michigan and that's one of the most likely states to decide this year).

Hm, I looked up a few more things on Whitmer. And she seems to be very likeable, even has that kind of "folksy" quality that would appeal to a broader portion of the population. She does seem to have a good sense of humor and the gift of gab. I could see her directing very effective jabs and sick burns towards Trump in a one-on-one. Plus her stances and policy decisions are pretty damn solid. She would indeed be a great pick.
