Washington Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will seize the national spotlight Tuesday evening when she delivers one of the Democratic Party's responses to the President's State of the Union address, drawing attention to a state her party is hoping to win back from Donald Trump this November.
Party leaders announced last month that Whitmer will give the response to Trump's address in English while Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas will deliver the response in Spanish. Traditionally, the speech is considered a coveted opportunity that allows rising party officials to voice their opposition to a presidency to a national audience. Previous speakers have included future presidents and prominent lawmakers.
