KALAMAZOO, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – President Joe Biden visited Saginaw on Thursday, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer did not show up to meet him.
Instead, she headed to Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo where she toured the plant that will make a special edition “Governor Whitbier” which will be sold at the Michigan Tourism Conference in April.

You know me for rolling up my sleeves to get to work, and today, I took that literally. The team at Bell’s welcomed me with open arms and open taps so I could help brew up something special using Michigan-grown hops and peaches. Cheers! pic.twitter.com/Qavgq7OlBc

While in Saginaw, President Biden attempted to shore up his support in Michigan which is considered a swing state in the November election. Biden recently clinched the Democratic nomination, but not without more than 10,000 “uncommitted” protest votes from people who are unhappy with his position on the Israel-Hamas war.
U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Flint Township) stood with President Biden while he spoke, but the President did not take questions from reporters.
