It's possible for sure, and would continue the pattern of early hyped candidates that ended up flopping. Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Kamala Harris and Rob!
Yeah, tbh this name stands out because I see many obvious parallels between Walker and Whitmer, his Democratic counterpart.
Both would be two-term governors of crucial Upper Midwest swing states, who embodied and pushed through their party's agenda through the state, who were incredibly controversial with the other side (Walker had a recall attempt in 2012; Whitmer was nearly
kidnapped) but managed to nonetheless win reelection by larger-than-expected margins (especially important considering how closely divided MI and WI both are).
