Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday said she is worried that President Donald Trump’s campaign event in her state would pose a threat to public health, but expressed no such concerns about a similar event planned for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Whitmer speculated with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Trump might be “encouraging people to come maskless” to the rally, which is scheduled on Thursday evening at an airport hangar near MBS International Airport in Freeland.
