Following the resignation of Susan Rice from the Biden White House, reports indicate that Michelle Obama is running for president in 2024, according to Newt Gingrich who said that the former First Lady has already kicked off the soft launch of her presidential campaign and Roger Stone, advisor to President Donald J. Trump.
Speaking to Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” Gingrich said that Democrats are divided about whether to back Biden for a second term following a lackluster first-term performance. He also warned Republicans to take the threat of a third Obama presidency very seriously.
The former First Lady’s high approval ratings with Democrats and Biden’s declining popularity make her a formidable candidate, said Gingrich.

Michelle Obama was last seen on stage with Bruce Springsteen, playing the tambourine in front of thousands of adoring liberals. Days earlier she drew thousands of people to an event in Los Angeles with left-wing icon Oprah Winfrey.
Gingrich explained that these appearances are out of character for Michelle Obama, explaining that she, “recently had 9,000 people at an event with Oprah in Los Angeles,” Gingrich added. “I think Republicans had better pay significant attention to Michelle Obama.”
“I hadn’t believed that until I saw her on stage with Bruce Springsteen, and I thought, you know, ‘this is not a person who’s hiding.’”
Michelle Obama’s potential entry into the presidential race presents a significant challenge for the current Biden administration, given the President’s declining approval ratings, and the Obamas’ overall high favorability ratings, particularly among Democrats. Additionally, Michelle Obama’s presence as a presidential contender could pose a significant threat to the 2024 Republican presidential field.
But Newt Gingrich isn’t the only Republican influencer sounding the alarm. Roger Stone, famously known for recruiting Trump to run for President in 2016, and a key member of Trump’s inner circle took to Twitter to declare, “Yup. She’s running.”
This indicates that, however small the odds, the Trump campaign’s inner circle is preparing for Michelle Obama to enter the 2024 campaign for President.
It is crucial to acknowledge that Michelle Obama has previously stated that she has no desire to pursue a presidential bid. In a November 2022 interview, after clearly stated, “I detest” the mere question of whether or not she’s running. She said bluntly, “No, I’m not going to run.”
That said, a lot has changed since November of 2022. The world is on the brink of war, the banks are failing at historic rates, inflation hasn’t improved despite draconian efforts from the Federal Reserve, China is openly expanding its BRICS coalition to challenge the U.S. Dollar and the Biden administration has been haunted by unprecedented foreign policy failures. A Michelle Obama candidacy might be the Democrats’ last hope of salvaging the 2024 election if conditions continue as they have.
However, a Michelle Obama candidacy also comes with significant challenges for the Democrats. Michelle is untested as a candidate and famously detests the public spotlight. Her programs as a first lady, including her school lunch program, often derided as “Obamabread” by the younger millennials and zoomers, was near-universally despised.
Her candidacy would also open up additional speculation on Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, including scandals such as Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and failed policies, such as Obamacare and the bank bailouts.
National File has previously reported on Michelle’s own attacks on her husbands record, in which she declares that she, “couldn’t stand” her husband for about a decade. She continued, “People think I’m being catty by saying this. It’s like, there were ten years where I couldn’t stand my husband. You know? Ten whole years. And guess when it happened. When those kids were little. Right?”
Michelle Obama was perhaps the most divisive member of the Obama team. She can never shed her image of anti-Americanism after she said on the campaign trail that she was proud of America “for the first time in my adult life.”

If Mooseshell runs it will be about race 24/7.

It is already
She is not qualified.
Hillary was a darned sight more qualified than Michelle, she had been a senator and secretary of state, though, having been FLOTUS made people not take her seriously. In Michelle’s case she was a lawyer, some sort of fake job at the U of Chicago medical center (the job seems to have only existed for her, nobody else), and then there is a gig with Audible being interviewed by people who seem to continually gush over how “uplifting” she is.
She wont need thick skin
It has been proved that whatever figurehead that is picked with be protected and will win.
And she ticks off multiple of their fave boxes
Stone’s been talking about this for a year.
Who said they wouldn’t cheat? Not I.
As I already replied to someone else who posted the same objection, they’ll cheat for Michelle just like they cheated for Biden. So that is a net neutral for them; they don’t gain anything there.
However, when it comes to appealing to moderates, I believe Biden has the advantage there. He has a lifetime of experience playing the role of “Lunchbox Joe” and making people who don’t pay attention to politics think he is a likeable, regular guy. Michelle has zero experience in politics of any kind, zero experience appealing to the masses, zero experience doing debates, zero experience handling journalists, etc. So she’s decades behind Joe in that department.
We’ll have to overcome cheating to beat either of them, but it will be much easier to overcome cheating if we can get the independent and moderate votes.
“Michie is the Dems strongest candidate.”
Sorry, I can’t do anything but laugh in response to that idea.
Quite the contrary. She would be a shoo in.
She’d get every woman, black and illegal immigrant vote out there.
“She will be a formidable candidate.”
Why would you say that?
She’s never been a candidate for anything, much less a formidable one.
to work on obama’s campaign
The democrats could put a ham sandwich in office.
Love it, lol!
I don't care about the democrat's agenda laying bare naked.
I want the democrats to be laid bare naked - and run over with a stream roller.
Winning does not mean adopting a posture of moral outrage. Winning means ejecting democrats from offices. Let's get that done.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
Ham sandwiches are great! Lots of people love them, they are very popular!
Not so much with Michelle “light bringer” Obama.
With more than half the country already thinking Obama is running things through Biden, I think there would be massive opposition to allowing him to run things through Michelle. Even among Democrats. I’m sure a lot of Dems already suspect they’re devolving from a political party to just a bunch of lackeys for Barack Obama.
Maybe Biden won’t be too eager to go along with the Progressives.
Maybe he’ll use a line from Beyonce and tell Michelle’”Bow Down, B***h!”
That would break the internet for sure!
For the love of all that is good please do not use the term bare naked in any reference to Big Mike.
