"SNIP......

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) tamped down speculation that she would be picked as Joe Biden’s running mate, the Detroit News reports.

Said Whitmer: “I think it’s important that he has a woman running mate, to be honest. I think that there are a lot of phenomenal potential running mates for him.”

She added: “I’m going to help him vet and make sure he’s got a great running mate. It is not going to be me. But I’m going to have a hand in helping make sure that that he has got the rounded out ticket that can win.”

of people thinking she will be the one.

2. I don't get that...

she didn't say"Biden won't pick her as Running Mate", she said "It is not going to be me".

the original headline

Whitmer praises Biden's pledge for female VP pick but 'not going to be me'

I find that strange. Maybe it's just me?
