RGA Statement on Joe Biden’s Visit to Dearborn

As you cover Joe Biden following Gretchen Whitmer’s lead on interstate travel today, please consider the following statement from the Republican Governors Association:

“President Biden surely won’t have any answers for his policy failures that have led to stagnant job growth and record inflation, but perhaps he can answer for his BFF Gretchen Whitmer, who continues to hide details about her secret vacation to Florida,” said RGA Spokesperson Chris Gustafson. “With looming federal and state investigations into the part-time governor’s sweetheart deals and potentially illegal private flights, Whitmer must come clean to Michiganders.”

On Background:

• Gretchen Whitmer only paid 3% of the $27,521 private flight to Florida
• Whitmer refuses to say what “social welfare” purpose this trip served
• The FAA is looking into whether Whitmer’s flight violated federal regulations
• The Michigan House Oversight Committee is considering opening an investigation
