I think a lot of her early mistakes and political actions were also simply overlooked or ignored.
She had one scandal after the next during the COVID-19 response that got overlooked or downplayed. https://twitter.com/Neoavatara/status/1276334532422230016

How many people are aware that her office green-lit giving state contracts related to COVID-19 to Dem groups and then lied about it?
Emails showed them trying to change the official names to reduce the scrutiny before they got caught. https://freebeacon.com/coronavirus/internal-emails-contradict-michigan-governors-story-on-controversial-coronavirus-contracts/

How many people know that, similar to NY, she also ordered MI nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive patients, creating death traps for the most vulnerable residents? She was actually ignored early warnings not to do it.

In fact, those nursing home hubs even accepted non-elderly patients. That's what happened with viral video of a mentally ill man beating one resident. He was sent there after testing positive for COVID-19. https://www.wxyz.com/news/region/detroit/20-year-old-beating-suspect-was-moved-to-nursing-home-because-he-has-covid-19-says-father
She continuously extended stay-at-home orders based on her personal preferences for weeks after all the original objectives that she had set out were met: https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1264035410667331585
How many people know Whitmer's husband traveled up north to their cabin while she had banned other MI residents from doing that? https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1266149454576484352
Then there was the scandal w husband name-dropping to get his boat in the lake for Memorial weekend.

How many people know her administration adopted a clearly political position and threatened doctors who were considering prescribing HCQ before reversing a week later and asking feds to supply the state with the same drug? https://www.metrotimes.com/news-hits/archives/2020/03/31/gov-whitmer-reverses-course-on-coronavirus-drugs-is-now-asking-feds-for-hydroxychloroquine-and-chloroquine
How many people know Whitmer made headlines for creating a conspiracy claiming feds were preventing MI from getting medical supplies because she was critical of Trump before later conceding the state was just outbid on those supplies? https://www.mlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/gov-whitmer-downplays-tensions-with-trump-on-cnn-meet-the-press-appearances.html
Whitmer's rules were so arbitrary that she would promote, and participate in, mass protests on one day, and then extend closures for hair salons the next.
She's currently fighting in court to keep gyms closed. https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1267928421604249601

Ah almost forgot to include her random and pointless rule that prevented people from buying gardening supplies during the lockdown: https://twitter.com/Tori_Sachs/status/1248767913269645319
Yes, she repeatedly dismissed the sacrifices people were making during the lockdowns. Was especially upsetting given the selective enforcement and arbitrariness of the rules. https://twitter.com/JohnWonderlin/status/1276346232814911493
Anyways, all of those things were mostly overlooked and ignored while Whitmer got extensive praise in the press. Meanwhile, the deaths in Michigan continued to pile up. The state is doing much better now, but the damage has already been done.
