A segment of Americans, though enjoying all the privileges written in the Constitution, yet, touts white supremacy. They also support President Trump, who, according to Proverbs 6: 16-19, represents an Abomination before God and an evil threat to this Nation’s democracy.

The Black women who have been named as possible picks have invaluable lived experiences in addition to impeccable careers. This country deserves a Vice President who is ready, on day one, to stand up for all people and help to move America out of this place of health, economic, and racial crisis—Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has not been vetted in the way others considered for the position have nor does she compare in qualifications.
