Gretchen Whitmer in Meet the Press interviews for 2022 races


On Homeland Security: COVID-19 restrictions were aggressive and necessary

Q: Do you have any regrets on any of the restrictions that you have put into place?

WHITMER: I don't. And here's why. You know, Michigan right now has the third highest number of death from COVID-19. And yet, we're the tenth largest state. We have a disproportionate problem in the state of Michigan. And so, we could take the same kinds of actions other states have, but it doesn't rise to the challenge we're confronting. And that's precisely why we have to take a more aggressive stand. It's working. We are seeing the curve start to flatten.
