Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer has warned that US president Joe Biden’s chances of winning the state are now over following his dismal debate performance last week.

Mr Biden had hoped to silence critics who have questioned his age and mental sharpness when he took on Donald Trump during the first televised debate of the 2024 election last Thursday.
