Michigan governor debate: Gretchen Whitmer and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon traded barbs on abortion, gun rights, roads, COVID-19 handling

Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, and Tudor Dixon, the Republican opposition, debated for over an hour over education policies, abortion rights, safety measures in schools, the situation of the public roads in Michigan, and the state's policies of managing the COVID-19 pandemic.

WOOD-TV organized this debate in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Both politicians portrayed each other as "radical" during the face-off.

Tudor Dixon, a businesswoman, said that, under the governance of Gretchen Whitmer, the last four years of Michigan state were "disappointing". She pointed out that the price of every commodity has increased, people are less safe, the conditions of schools are worsening, and the public roads have not been fixed.





Gretchen Whitmer retorted that Tudor Dixon's concern for the families and communities is overshadowed by her adamancy to not approve of the gun control measures. These include the red flag laws, running background checks on anyone purchasing arms, and keeping schools free of guns except for the security officials. The current government said Tudor Dixon is "dangerous" and "cannot be entrusted with protecting the kids or the city."
