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.
That’s why they live 2 miles from the WH.
Sorry the Wookiee couldn’t be reached she’s still on VACATION
Sure, then we could have two empty heads for the price of one.
First question, Mrs. Obama, are you taking meds for depression or have you had electro shock therapy like Thomas Eagleton??
This came out of the blue - not!!!
I just went to duckduckgo to find one of those scary/ugly pics of her/him/it but it seems someone may be scrubbing the web of them, https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=michelle+obama&atb=v1-1&iax=images&ia=images
Could that be a sign?
Searching for scary+michelle+obama brings up one famously scary pic of her/him/it. We all remember her/him/it dancing on Ellen. I wonder if Ellen knows the truth about big Mike. Is that why Ellen is being unpersoned?
I am saying the GOP will be routed. Destroyed.
Not a snowballs chance in you-know-where.
This is a variation of ‘born on third and thinks she hit a triple’ - - married a powerful man - thinks she has his political savvy... - the Hillary flaw.
Or worse.....
A way to cheat the Constitution... two terms is it -— unless you can get “the wife: to give you another term. That would be unforgivable...
She’s better than this... so is Obama. But it’s right in Biden’s ballpark...
Now we know why Joe is delaying his VP pick , she’s on Vacation
I tend to think michelle is an unstoppable force, as well. want more than anything to be wrong....
I’ve said this from the get go. Has to be Moochie. The Obamas really enjoyed themselves for 8 years.
That she would sneak her lazy behind in as “the answer” has been my prediction since 2016 when she began her soccer mom makeover. ValJar returning (also with her “can’t we move on” sweet granny makeover) as counterpoint to Michelle’s (often too angry) scowl is the key. Then Mr. WhiteTeeth smiling Obama will bless the “uniting the party” fakery.
Hope and change redux.
He’s gonna pick a Buckingham Palace Guard as VP?................
Well, they need someone who can step in and be President on Day one. So I suppose if all the role entails is getting on the cover of every glamor magazine as the most beautiful woman in the world, Moochie is qualified.
I'll see your goldfish and raise you my parrot, whose poop is more qualified than You-Know-Who. :-)
Hey why not....You’d have 3 total BOOBS in the white HUT....yea, support this 100%....what FOOLs you rats are,.
