Whitmer Endorses Eight House Democrats for 2024 Elections

The Michigan governor's endorsements, made through her Fight Like Hell PAC, are seen as part of her efforts to expand her national political influence.

• Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has issued her first round of endorsements for the 2024 House elections, supporting eight Democratic candidates in competitive races across multiple states.
• Whitmer's endorsements were made through her political action committee, Fight Like Hell, which she launched in June to support candidates who 'fight like hell for working people and their fundamental freedoms'.
• The endorsed candidates include Representatives Hillary Scholten (Michigan), Lauren Underwood (Illinois), Susan Wild (Pennsylvania), Chris DeLuzio (Pennsylvania), Jahana Hayes (Connecticut), Emilia Sykes (Ohio), Steven Horsford (Nevada), and Angie Craig (Minnesota).
• Despite speculation about a potential presidential run, Whitmer has dismissed the idea and fully supported President Biden's 2024 bid, but she hasn't ruled out a future run for the office.
• Whitmer's endorsements and national political activity are seen as part of her efforts to expand her political network and influence, particularly as she cannot run for re-election as governor in 2026 due to term limits.
