Gretchen Whitmer rejects polls showing Harris up 5 points against Trump in Michigan: 'It's just not true'

AUSTIN, TX - Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer fiercely rejected polls giving Vice President Kamala Harris a sizable lead over former President Trump, declaring "it's just not true."

"It makes me nervous to see any poll that says there's a five-point lead for Kamala Harris in Michigan now. It's just not true," Whitmer said Thursday at the Texas Tribune Festival.

"It's gonna be a very close race. I believe we can win it. And I believe we wlll, but it's gonna be very close," Whitmer added.
