Gretchen Whitmer: 我作为拜登-哈里斯竞选活动的全国联合主席，全力支持拜登总统。我相信他为美国人民带来了切实的成果，并且我对他的连任充满信心。关于我作为潜在总统候选人的传闻，我认为目前最重要的就是确保拜登连任，阻止特朗普再次上台。我不会为了各种假设的可能性而偏离这一目标。密歇根州对本次大选至关重要，我会继续努力，确保拜登赢得密歇根州的选票。在密歇根州，我与民众保持密切联系，倾听他们的声音，关注他们的需求，例如经济保障、医疗保健和教育等问题。拜登总统也致力于解决这些问题，这与我的工作目标一致。关于中东局势，我们必须认识到所有群体都遭受了痛苦，并呼吁美国施压以解决人质问题，并寻求两国方案。在堕胎问题上，我认为政府应该不干涉妇女的生育决定。拜登总统也持有相同的价值观，我们会继续努力，在全国范围内就这个问题进行讨论。 Juana Summers: 本期节目讨论了密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默对拜登总统的支持，以及她作为潜在总统候选人的可能性。惠特默州长在节目中明确表示，她对拜登总统充满信心，并全力支持他的连任。她还谈到了她对拜登政府在经济、医疗保健和妇女权利等问题上的成就的看法。此外，节目还探讨了密歇根州在2024年总统大选中扮演的关键角色，以及中东冲突对密歇根州选民的影响。
