Up First from NPR · Michigan's Governor Fears Interference in this Fall's Elections · 20 Jan 2026 podcast

You know, I think that when I took an oath of office, it's to serve the people of Michigan, not just the people who voted, not just the people who voted for me.

My favorite thing is to have a conversation with someone who didn't and learn from them.

I think there are a lot of things that make me different from the president.

Well, first, I love Michelle Obama, so the last thing I want to do is disagree with her.

But, you know, I think America is ready for a woman president.

You know, the question comes down to a choice between two people.

And the...

What we saw in this last election, while Kamala Harris didn't beat President Trump, we saw women get elected across the country.

We saw just recently Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Sherrill got elected.

We saw Alyssa Slotkin get elected to the U.S.

Senate here in Michigan.

We saw

Women win up and down the ballot in hard, important states to win.

So I do think that there's an appetite.

I just, for whatever reason, we have not had a woman president yet.

I think we will at some point in the near future.

You know, I think that there were a lot of things that came into play.

I don't know.

I don't think it was just gender, no.
