After ardently defending President Joe Biden in the wake of his disastrous performance against Donald Trump on the debate stage, Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer admitted on Wednesday that she only watched “clips” of the June 27 event.

Whitmer, who is also a national co-chair of the Biden campaign, joined late-night host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to promote her new book and discuss the Democratic Party’s worries surrounding Biden. The Michigan governor has been floated as a potential replacement candidate for Democrats if Biden were to drop out of the race, but she has repeatedly said she fully supports the president’s re-election bid as some Democrats call for him to step aside.

“Did you watch the debate?” Colbert asked.

“I’ve seen clips of the debate,” Whitmer said.
