Gretchen Whitmer Travels to D.C. for Inauguration After Discouraging Residents from Leaving Michigan
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is traveling to Washington, DC, to attend Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday despite urging residents not to leave the state.
“I am honored to attend the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and ready to begin working closely with each of them to fight this virus, save lives and put the country back on track,” Whitmer said in a news release.
The Detroit Free Press reported:
Whitmer has generally discouraged Michiganders from traveling and attending gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic. Her spokeswoman could not immediately say whether Whitmer was taking any special precautions or whether she was flying commercial or in a state plane.
“Certainly she will adhere to all COVID-19 safety precautions as it relates to travel and while she’s there,” spokeswoman Tiffany Brown said.
The trip will not be paid for with tax dollars, Brown said. She would not say whether campaign funds or some other donor fund, such as a nonprofit, was being used, but said: “Travel disclosure will be done in compliance with state law.”
Whitmer was appointed co-chair of Biden’s inaugural committee. He also recently nominated her to serve as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Last month, Whitmer urged residents not to travel during Christmas to see family.
