MICHIGAN GOV. WHITMER: MANY LEGISLATORS INCITED CAPITOL PROTEST — THEN DIDN’T WANT

TO BE THEREDETROIT — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told a

national cable TV audience on Friday morning that Republicans in the state Legislature have helped fuel protests against her stay-at-home order at the state Capitol.

Speaking to host John Berman on CNN’s “New Day,” Whitmer was asked why the state Capitol was closed during Thursday’s protests after be-ing swarmed by protesters, some of whom car-ried firearms, during an April 30 event.

“The Legislature apparently didn’t want to be around for this activity that many of them in-cited, frankly,” she said.

Republican leaders have also filed a lawsuit — with a hearing scheduled Friday in the state Court of Claims — challenging Whitmer’s au-thority to issue and extend orders to close busi-nesses and require people stay at home as a way to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Those orders are set to remain in place at least until May 28. Whitmer has cited estimates that her orders may have helped prevent what could have been another 3,500 deaths from the virus in Michigan and that reopening the state too quickly could result in a second wave of new cases and deaths.

Republican leaders, including state party Chairman Laura Cox, have maintained they are not associated with the protests while criti-cizing Whitmer for her many national TV ap-pearances, saying she is interested in being Joe Biden’s vice presidential running mate in No-vember, a claim she has denied.

BRAZIL’S HEALTH CHIEF EXITS AFTER 29 DAYS AS VIRUS CASELOAD SOARS

Brazil lost its second health minister in a month as President Jair Bolsonaro’s insistence on reopening the economy and the use of cer-tain controversial treatments clashes with sci-entific recommendations and the coronavirus pandemic death toll surges.

Nelson Teich, who took over the post in April after Bolsonaro fired his predecessor amid a clash over social distancing measures, stepped down on Friday, the government said. The health ministry gave no details on who will re-place him in the post, saying a press conference will be held later today.

Local media had reported Bolsonaro was pressuring Teich to recommend the widespread use of malaria drug chloroquine, which he has touted since the beginning of the crisis, to treat the pandemic. Teich had said treatments using the drug are an “uncertainty.”

Though he avoided publicly clashing with the president on social distancing, Bolsonaro’s growing push to reopen the economy at all costs placed Teich in a bind. During a press confer-ence earlier this week, Teich was caught off guard when a reporter asked him about Bolso-naro’s latest edict adding gyms, beauty salons and barbershops to the list of essential busi-nesses that should immediately reopen.

FIRST STORM OF HURRICANE SEASON LIKELY TO FORM SATURDAY

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The first storm of hurricane season is likely to form Saturday, bringing tropical-force gusts to South Florida, the National Hurricane Center said in a Friday morning advisory.

The subtropical or tropical storm, which would be named Arthur, is expected to form around the Bahamas from a large patch of stormy weather moving through the Florida Straits.

Although Florida is likely to avoid a direct hit, the broad cluster of storm clouds is expected to give the region a day or two of rough weather. Strong gusts, scattered power outages, flood-ing, powerful rip currents and high waves are expected Friday, the National Weather Service said.

Gusts could reach 40 mph. A high surf warn-ing was issued for Broward and Palm Beach counties, indicating the possibility of breaking waves of six or seven feet. A gale warning was issued for the ocean off South Florida, indicat-ing the potential for sustained winds of at least 39 mph.

ILLINOIS SEN. TAMMY DUCKWORTH TO INTERVIEW SOON FOR BIDEN’S VP PICK, DURBIN SAYS

CHICAGO — U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth is going to interview soon for the post of former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate, her fellow Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said Fri-day.

Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has said he will select a woman as his running mate and announced a vice presidential search committee late last month. In recent days, speculation about Duckworth as a possibility has steadily increased as the senator has been more visible on television in recent weeks and participated in virtual events for the Biden campaign.

Asked Friday morning in Chicago about whether he thought Duckworth was a realistic possibility as Biden’s VP pick, Durbin indicated she was under consideration.

“I support Tammy Duckworth. She’s spectac-ular, a great colleague and I hope that she fares well in this interview, which I think is going to take place soon,” Durbin said outside Stroger Hospital after he visited a COVID-19 testing fa-cility. “And I’m totally in support of her.”

Durbin did not elaborate on the nature of the interview.
