Bitch fight!
Whitmer has been a disaster for Michigan and Biden, eager to do the same for all of America, doesn't want her to get the spotlight.
But you have to admire the attempt at the report to smooth things out. Whereas, and you know this is a fact, if Trump was POTUS this story would be written far differently and they would be non-stop talking about it at CNN, MSNBC, and multiple threads up on PH too, all bashing Trump.

A standoff has emerged between the White House and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as federal health officials have rejected the governor's repeated requests for additional vaccine doses as her state experiences a surge in cases driven by the B.1.1.7 variant of Covid-19.
Although President Joe Biden and Whitmer are close allies, the two now find themselves in the middle of an awkward impasse that's complicated by a global pandemic and national clamor for vaccines.
Whitmer has made several appeals to the White House for more vaccine doses to combat the surge, including a direct one to Biden during a call that lasted between 20 and 30 minutes last week. But Whitmer, a strong supporter of Biden's who was once under consideration to be his vice president, seems unlikely to succeed in her quest for more doses, something Biden's top health advisers made clear Monday, as one warned they aren't going to play "whack-a-mole" with vaccines.
"We have to remember the fact that in the next two to six weeks, the variants that we've seen in Michigan, those variants are also present in other states. So our ability to vaccinate people quickly in each of those states, rather than taking vaccines and shifting it to playing whack-a-mole, isn't the strategy that public health leaders and scientists have laid out," said Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser to the President on coronavirus.
Signaling the tensions between the two usual allies, after Whitmer made her direct request to Biden, a federal health official said privately that her state had not maxed out its orders from the weekly allocation provided by the federal government, something a state official later denied.
"We have ordered every vaccine that we've ever been allocated," the state official said. The back-and-forth has resulted in a delicate dance between the White House and one of Biden's most ardent allies.
