In her latest TikTok, Whitmer gives Lasso a nod by jumping up and hitting a sign that says "BELIEVE". The voice-over that accompanies the video is that of Jason Sudeikis saying,

"I want everyone's eyes on me when I say this."

Then The Governor taps the sign, just like in the TV show.

The title of the TikTok is called:

"The harder you work, the luckier you get."

Silver Screen Pop Music commented,

"Like A Boss!"

Not everyone was as supportive. nwarner1 stated,

"Get off my TikTok page!!!!!!!!!!! How did you show up in my feed?"

If you're counting that was 11 exclamation marks. GeorgeGeorge simply said,

"You suck"

As Whitmer enters what looks to be a conference room, I'm most curious about the take-out food on the table. Is that Chinese?
