- Wear a mask. Wear a homemade mask. Wear a mask with a pattern. Wear a mask that says “masks suck.” Wear a mask with a Trump logo. Just, please, wear a mask. 😷Michigan Republican Party responds to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's new mask order... with new masks
- Just stop. Enough is enough. You are a threat to the safety of every American.Governor Whitmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She locked down her state for everyone, except her husband’s boating activities. The Federal Government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan. My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced...
- Today, I issued an open letter to Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield calling on them to enact and enforce a mask mandate within the Michigan Senate and House chambers.
- Let’s be clear — if you’re voting in-person, you have to vote (or be in line to do so) by 8PM today. If your #vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to take it from you. Get out there and get your vote in the bank!

- As a Black man... As the first Black Lt. Governor in the history of Michigan... As the first Black president of the state Senate... It was appalling and disgusting to see a confederate flag chosen as the face mask by a sitting state senator.
- Michigan, These last 24 hours have been tough, and frankly this entire year has challenged all of us. I want to thank you for all of your support. We have your backs, and thank you for having ours. Have a great weekend. #StandTALL
- Yes, you heard @gretchenwhitmer correctly. My beautiful wife, Ellen, and I are expecting to add another member to our family in June.
- For the first time in Michigan’s history, Black men lead both chambers of the state Legislature. Representation matters and I am honored to have the opportunity to deliver for all Michiganders in a meaningful and unique way.
- Our children and grandchildren will remember this moment for the rest of their lives #BidenHarris2020
