Supporters of former first lady Michelle Obama wrote an open letter Tuesday urging presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to pick her as his running mate.
The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama for VP touted the former first lady as the “most admired woman in the world” and said she could help Biden in his campaign to push President Trump out of office and reunify the country if the Democratic ticket is successful in November.
“As a candidate, she has the power not only to assure victory over Donald Trump but to unite a bitterly divided nation and continue her life’s tireless work for the American people. As a leader, her stature and preexisting rapport with heads of state are unparalleled,” they wrote.
Obama’s supporters noted that Biden previously said he would choose the former first lady if she was interested but urged him to extend a formal invitation.
“Recent polls affirm this, but we cannot afford to take any chances. Mr. Biden must put forward the strongest ticket possible for a crushing landslide that not only unseats Mr. Trump but throws the un-American spirit of Trumpism on the ash heap of history. One that also strengthens the opportunity to win down the ticket and take back the U.S. Senate. This is why we encourage Mr. Biden to formally invite Ms. Obama,” they wrote.
Biden has underscored his comments about Obama in the past by noting that he doesn’t think she has any desire to fill the role or “live near the White House again.”
In the letter, her supporters also acknowledged that Obama may be reluctant to serve.
“We realize such an invitation is a sensitive matter for Ms. Obama, one to which she has given great thought and declined in the past. Of course, we honor whatever she decides now, but we would be remiss if we did not put forth the considerations that we feel underscore her singularity as a leader for this challenging time,” they wrote.
The committee to draft Obama for the vice presidential spot formed earlier this year. The latest push comes as Biden has said he will soon be selecting his running mate.
Biden has pledged to pick a woman for the ticket, and a number of Democrats are on the shortlist, including two of his former presidential primary opponents: Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Both senators have indicated they would accept the spot if chosen.
An Obama spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
If that dont stop him from smelling hair I dont know what will
LOL..... Good one.
I’m sure he’s secretly pledging allegiance to Marx and Mohammad.
“touted the former first lady as the “most admired woman in the world””
“Admired” by whom, readers of People magazine and TMZ?
“I think it will be moochelle. How about Michael ?”.
That was exactly what I was thinking. I wonder why she can’t just admit her trans situation?
If we have truly become a trans accepting nation why are we not accepting that and calling a spade a spade? Now, of course, it would never do to think too deeply about that...
The result of his union with Obama might put some of us off...a lot.
Addendum: I saw a photo of their “adopted” daughters recently , and read not much has been heard from them. I wonder why that is? Why are they in glory like Chelsea or Hunter? That is sort of a big question.

So do I. After looking at all the baggage/problems other Black women are carrying, she’s the least damaging choice.
Well I think the answer rests with Michal, probably the whole idea is to let sleeping dogs sleep. And by the way I live close to the Iowa border about 50 miles east of the QC’s and we had a bad, bad storm go through which took out my power as well as my router for the internet and just got it going again. Fortunately I had an auxiliary generator.....Thanks for the reply and stay healthy and well and I hope we never hear about Obozo and Michal again.
