Jennifer Granholm in Biden campaign vs. Biden administration


On Principles & Values: Aspired to be an actress; appeared on The Dating Game

Granholm appears to have been a ball of fire from the start, blessed with plenty of smarts, good looks, and ambition. She won the title of "Miss San Carlos." She moved to Los Angeles to try to hit it big as an actress. Granholm worked hard at her Hollywood dream, studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and working three jobs to pay the bills. But her plan failed. She got zero movie roles, and the only time she appeared on TV was as a bachelorette on the reality show The Dating Game.

On Principles & Values: Was first female governor 15 years after moving to Michigan

She moved to Michigan, where she became the first female Governor only 15 years after she arrived in the state. Once she got into politics, Granholm suggested that her attempts to break into Hollywood were doomed from the beginning. The Washington Post quoted her as saying "Ronald Reagan once said you have to be a good actor to be a good politician, but the reality is that I was a lousy actress, and I can't sing, and I can't dance."

On Energy & Oil: Energy policy "all-in" with input from different groups

When pressed by Stephanopoulos on progressives who argue that Biden's plan does not go far enough, Granholm stressed that the administration was undertaking an "all-in" strategy which includes input from a number of different groups. "The Green New Deal was an important framework for what Joe Biden has put on tap. This is the most robust climate change plan ever," Granholm said. "It is going to be an effort that runs through government."

On Principles & Values: Supported investigation over Russian collusion

Jennifer Granholm heavily promoted claims that President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, even mentioning an unsubstantiated "pee tape." She also called for an "independent investigation of Russia/Trump collusion" after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey while the agency was investigating such claims.
