ROCHESTER, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 26, 2022) – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing) and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon )R-Norton Shores) duked it out in debate number two on Tuesday night for the final time before the November 8th election. The debate brought the two contenders together for hour-long event at Oakland University. The two, sparring it out over abortion, COVID orders, all the way down to the gas tax and fixing the roads.
On abortion and Proposal 3, and whether they would get behind the decision by the people if the final vote differs from their position, Governor Whitmer said:
Dixon countered.
On the subject of inflation, Governor Whitmer touted her achievements in working in a bipartisan manner to help ease the stress on Michiganders.
Dixon countered that statement by bringing up gubernatorial vetos.
During the debate, Whitmer pledged to not take her foot off the gas when it comes to fixing the roads.
Dixon took a jab at Whitmer by saying that she did not have a solid enough plan to follow through on her campaign promise of better roads.
And there were stark differences of opinion when it came to addressing on what each would do with the CDC’s recommendation to make getting the COVID-19 Vaccine mandatory for school admission. The challenger spoke first.
The incumbent countered.
According to Crain’s Detroit Business, Dixon, a former businesswoman and conservative commentator who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is hoping a late surge of support will help her unseat the first-term incumbent Democrat. This Saturday, former President Barack Obama will be in Detroit to campaign with Whitmer and other Democrats, part of a multi-city swing the Democrat is making to boost the party’s candidates in states that also are presidential battlegrounds.
