Whitmer posted a Twitter thread on Thursday, which is the same day the “Barbie” movie hits theaters.
Come on Barbie, let’s go govern.
This Barbie is the 49th Governor of the great state of Michigan, and just like @Barbie, fuchsia is my power color. 💗 I’m committed to fighting for a state where every Michigander, no matter their background, can thrive. pic.twitter.com/F8Qq9gSrEL

The Twitter thread shows the doll signing bills, promoting electric vehicle technology, and speaking from a podium.
Spoiler alert: My 5th bipartisan education budget is the best one yet! This real-world funding will help us build a brighter future.
With the highest per-student funding in Michigan history, our kids can be anything they want to be. pic.twitter.com/7eqfytnJMg
