Gov. Gretchen Whitmer doesn't think Michigan is winnable for President Joe Biden.

In a call with Biden's campaign chair Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, the Michigan Democrat said the highly important swing state may no longer be in play after the President's disastrous debate performance.

Following a chaotic debate where Biden stumbled over his words, lost his train of thought and was oftentimes hard to understand, Democrats are scrambling and some are calling for him to drop out.

Whitmer's name is being floated as a potential replacement on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, as well as California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

But Whitmer, according to Politico, said on her call with Dillon that she didn't like her name coming up as a fill-in should Biden be ousted from November's ballot.

Michigan is one of the seven states in play in the 2024 election and is vital for presidential candidates to clinch in the battle for 270 Electoral College votes.

In 2016, Trump won Michigan by a tiny 0.3 percent margin. But the state flipped blue for Biden in 2020 by a 2.8 percent margin against Trump.

The midwest and rust belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are all battlegrounds for 2024 that flipped from red to blue between the 2016 and 2020 elections.

The President was already losing traction in Michigan in his reelection campaign among the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party and as Muslim and pro-Palestinian voters. In the primary election earlier this year, these voting blocs cast their ballot for 'uncommitted' as a protest of Biden's policies in the Middle East.

Whimer's name is being floated as a top contender to replace Biden on the 2024 ticket amid calls for him to step aside after the debate. But Whitmer insists she is not stoking these discussions and has no interest in being on the ballot in November

Now, after his disastrous debate performance on Thursday, Whitmer, speaking with Dillon, warned that her state's 15 Electoral College votes aren't likely to be won by Biden.

The second-term Michigan governor still reiterated to Dillon her commitment to help Biden in his bid for reelection.

The chatter about Whitmer being a replacement on the ticket is likely being pushed by rivals who want to wound her ahead of what many feel like is her intention to launch a presidential bid in 2028.

Even Trump doesn't think Democrats will actually move to replace Biden, claiming at a rally Friday in Chesapeake, Virginia that the left lacks a better choice and that no one polls higher than the incumbent President.
