Obama has ruled out multiple times standing in the 2020 race, saying she does not want to be president.

“If he fails to wear a mask, he’s going to be asked not to return to any enclosed facility inside our state,” Nessel said in an appearance on CNN’s New Day Thursday morning. She said she felt it was necessary to write to the White House because Michigan has been hit particularly hard by the novel coronavirus. The state has reported 52,988 confirmed cases and 5,060 deaths. “If we know he’s going to come to our state and we know he’s not going to follow the law,” she said, “I think we’re going to have to take action against any company or any facility that allows him inside those facilities and puts our workers at risk....

It’s a matchup sure to generate hype, given the coaching matchup between Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly.

State health officials said Friday cases and hospitalizations don’t appear to be dropping after Thanksgiving like they did last year and urged residents to get vaccinated and for those eligible to get booster shots, as the state’s fully vaccinated rate sits at about 55.5 percent, well below the current national rate of 60.5 percent. “For individuals who have not yet been vaccinated, I want to be absolutely clear: You are risking serious illness, hospitalization and even death,” state health director Elizabeth Hertel said....

During a press conference on Tuesday, Bob Riney, president of healthcare operations at Henry Ford Health System, said that in the past 24 hours “almost 100” staff members were forced to call out sick because they tested positive for COVID. In comparison, the hospital system saw 113 staffers unable to work for the same reason in the last seven days. “If that trend continues, not only for our health system but for others, we’re already dealing with a very depleted workforce, an exhausted workforce,” Riney said....

The Michigan Senate Committee, which is led by Republicans, released a 55-page report Wednesday certifying that President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump by 155,000 votes.

Let’s flashback to Jan. 31, when Rutgers was getting 28-points at Michigan State. The Spartans had won two straight coming off a three-game losing streak — the worst being a home loss to Nebraska as 15-point favorites. Rutgers got pummeled, 96-62. That made it three straight covers for MSU and they’d go on to cover their next six. Yes, that’s nine straight covers coming into tonight. MORE: College basketball live odds page...

Berdy, a senior, jumped on a table during a Michigan State board of trustees meeting that saw former Michigan Gov. John Engler appointed as interim university president, which itself came in the fallout of the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal. Where that statement leads the university now is an even bigger question after a faculty steering committee announced it will call for a vote of no confidence to oust the entire board at its next meeting....
