Whitmer’s administration is facing criticism from Democrats and Republicans on the state’s mishandling of nursing homes and assisted living facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has spent the last several months raising her national profile in a bid to become Joe Biden’s running mate.

“Whitmer’s office gave the ‘green light’ for a COVID-19 contact tracing ‘arrangement’ she denied knowledge of and canceled amid outcry over a contractor with Democratic ties.”

Michigan’s contact tracing initiative has been controversial to say the least after Gov. Whitmer canceled the initial no-bid contract that went to Democrat campaign vendors.

Reports say COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes account for 42 percent of deaths nationwide, yet Michigan still hasn’t created a thorough plan to protect the most vulnerable.
