As the Democratic Party scrambles for a potential replacement for Biden, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is being mentioned, despite her lack of preparation and vetting for such a significant role. Her latest attempt to gain popularity, the cringe-inducing hashtag “#HotInfrastructureSummer,” has only further highlighted her unsuitability. The Democratic Party’s desperation is palpable as they consider candidates with low approval ratings and questionable political tactics.

The recent presidential debate was a disaster, sparking rumors that Biden might be replaced as the Democratic candidate. Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her dismal approval ratings, is being considered. California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s slick demeanor may not resonate with Heartland voters, and his replacement of the first black woman in the position could cause backlash.

Other underperformers like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are also in the mix. Even Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama have been thrown into the ring, attesting to the dire straits the Democratic Party finds itself in.

But let’s not forget about Gretchen Whitmer. Despite her strict COVID-19 policies and low approval ratings, she has managed to stay in the spotlight. Her re-election campaign barely scraped by with 54.5 percent support, and her rallying cry of “fix the damn roads” seems to have lost its initial appeal. However, her latest attempt to connect with voters, “#HotInfrastructureSummer,” has elicited widespread embarrassment across the internet.

If you’re not aware, this awkward hashtag is a play on “Hot Girl Summer,” a 2019 song about casual relationships. Whitmer’s version aims to highlight her dedication to improving Michigan’s infrastructure. In a post on X, she states that “everyone knows that strong, reliable infrastructure is real hot girl sh**.” She assures that this summer will be one of progress and robust infrastructure, ending with the optimistic “Stay tuned and stay excited!”

This poorly conceived political ad appears to have been orchestrated by the “Kamala, Gavin, and Pete Don’t Want To Get Passed Over 2024 Super PAC.” Christina Pushaw, who worked with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, describes it as “the purest distillation of cringe [she’s] ever seen on this app.”

Many are drawing parallels between Harris and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character on “Veep,” and not without reason. Now, articles are suggesting Whitmer as a potential successor to Biden, despite her lack of experience or vetting for such a role. Her embarrassing hashtag only compounds the issues surrounding her potential nomination.

While Whitmer may harbor national aspirations, the prospect of her becoming a serious Democratic candidate without proper preparation is alarming. Unfortunately, there are even more unsettling potential nominees being discussed. Whitmer’s #HotInfrastructureSummer might have just signed her off as a viable candidate – an unflattering reflection on her and the Democratic Party.
