Prominent governor drops out of running to be Harris' VP

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who has frequently been floated as a potential Democratic candidate for president, waved away suggestions she might be tapped as Kamala Harris' vice presidential pick on Monday.

Asked Monday by the Detroit News if she was interested in being Harris' VP, she said, "I am not leaving Michigan. I am proud to be the governor of Michigan. I have been consistent. I know everyone is always suspicious and asking this question over and over again ... I am not going anywhere."
