Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) participated in a virtual town hall meeting sponsored by several local television stations to discuss the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic. Anchors from ABC12, WNEM, and Mid-Michigan NOW asked the governor about several topics, including the supply of personal protective equipment, the rising state unemployment claims, reopening the state's economy, and how prepared is the state if a second wave of the virus hits. When asked about the recent protests at the state capitol and about her republican critics from the legislature saying she is abusing her power, the governor said "We remain in a state of emergency, that is a fact. For anyone to declare mission accomplished means they are turning a blind eye to the fact that over 600 people have died in the last 72 -hours," and she "is not going to make decisions about our public health based on political games."

He criticized the government's initial response to the pandemic, saying he thought the "world was surprised" at the U.S. response and later said, "the willingness of the federal government to step in and coordinate everything from PPE to testing to repair of our hospital systems and so forthnone of those things really stood out as being great moments in American leadership." He later said he believed it was "likely" President Trump would be re-elected and warned that the U.S. should not pull away from global affairs, making room for China's influence to dominate the global stage.
