密歇根州州长格蕾琴·惠特默周四打消了参加2028年总统竞选的念头，她表示，尽管“将会有一大批人参与总统竞选，但我不会是其中一员”。
惠特默是在接受底特律Fox 2电视台采访时发表上述言论的，当时她正在谈论自己明年卸任后的计划。
惠特默表示，她期待在卸任后“稍微休息一下”，“不会立刻投身新事务”，她还提到自己已向多位前政府官员征询过意见，其中包括前罗德岛州州长、前商务部部长吉娜·雷蒙多，前拜登政府交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格，以及前众议院共和党议长保罗·瑞安。
作为这位来自顶级摇摆州的连任两届州长，惠特默长期以来一直被视为2028年民主党总统初选的热门潜在候选人。她曾是前总统乔·拜登2020年副总统人选的最终候选人之一，多年来也一直在打造自己的全国知名度。
但惠特默的任期内也出现过几起备受关注的失误——其中包括去年在特朗普的白宫出席活动时，被拍到用文件夹挡住脸部以躲避现场记者拍照的争议画面。
惠特默长期以来对2028年的竞选意向一直含糊其辞。
“我不知道自己是否需要成为下一章的主角，但我希望能参与执笔，我认为作为重要摇摆州的州长，我拥有重要的视角，”她去年秋天告诉加拿大记者史蒂夫·派金。

Summary

- Whitmer says she plans to take a break next year after leaving office.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer threw cold water Thursday on the idea of a 2028 presidential bid, saying that while “there will be a robust group of people running for president, I will not be one of them.”
Whitmer made the comments in an interview with Fox 2 Detroit while discussing her plans after she leaves office next year.
Saying that she was “looking forward to taking a little bit of a break” after leaving office, and “not jumping right into something,” Whitmer said she’d “gotten counsel” from former government officials such as former Rhode Island Gov. and Commerece Secretary Gina Raimondo, former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan.
A popular two-term governor from a premier battleground state, Whitmer has long been seen as a top potential contender in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. She was a finalist in former President Joe Biden’s 2020 vice presidential search and has spent years burnishing a national profile.
But Whitmer’s tenure has also included a few high-profile stumbles – including an infamous appearance at Trump’s White House last year during which she was captured holding a folder up to hide her face as cameras in the room snapped photos.
Whitmer has long given mixed signals about her intentions in 2028.
“I don’t know if I need to be the main character in the next chapter, but I want to have a hand in writing it, and I think I’ve got an important vantage point as the governor of an important swing state,” she told Canadian journalist Steve Paikin last fall.
