“Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amid speculation that the Democratic Party will replace Joe Biden before their national convention in August, Michelle Obama’s office has issued a statement categorically denying that she will run for president.
NBC News received a statement that noted “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.”
Crystal Carson, director of communications for the former first lady’s office, added “Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
NBC News further notes that Michelle Obama plans to help Biden get reelected, but will play an even more limited role than in 2020.
The report adds that the Biden campaign plans to brandish Michelle Obama’s popularity among Democratic voters to increase voter turnout.
Michelle Obama previously told Oprah Winfrey that politics is “not in my soul,” and that she has no desire to run for president.
Speculation about her being a surprise candidate has been rife, especially after she declared that she is “terrified” of Donald Trump winning another election.
For a time, more bets were being placed on Obama winning the presidency than Joe Biden, even though she isn’t running.
New York Post columnist Cindy Adams has further stoked the rumours by claiming sources told her Barack Obama has polled donors asking how they’d feel about his wife as the Democratic candidate.
Megyn Kelly discussed the rumour on her show earlier this year, noting that the timeline is for a May announcement before the August convention:
Sources close to Trump, including Vivek Ramaswamy, have claimed Democrats are preparing to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama and that it doesn’t even really matter if she doesn’t want to run, because she won’t have a choice in the matter.
Trump himself is also adamant that he will not be running against Biden.
In January, JP Morgan Asset Management strategist Michael Cembalest predicted that Joe Biden will not make it to the 2024 election in November and will drop out of the race due to poor health, to be replaced by a new candidate.
Speculation has also focused on California Governor Gavin Newsom, who seems far too engaged in worshipping and fawning over Biden, prompting some to suspect he already knows Biden is stepping down.
I have always agreed with everything you stated. She likes her life way too much (and who wouldn’t) to be grilled and scrutinized and actually have to do a bunch of “stuff” she doesn’t want to do and live in the house that slaves built.
Lefties have quite a lineup of losers.
Politicians lie all the time. And Democrats lie more than most. Michelle is a long shot, but given the right odds (maybe 6 to 1) I’d put my money on her.
“Michelle, the polls have shown that only you can save us from evil, racist Trump. He’ll destroy everything Barack has built. And as president, all you’d have to do is sign a few papers now and then. We’ll do the actual governing. Just like now.”
They may push Susan Rice.
Susan Rice?.....Even many Leftists don’t like her...........
The ‘Rats will run the Presidency to her.
True, but I fear Big Mike. She’s been canonized by the press . I think she’d win. I’m very relieved by this report
Not that she would lie or anything.
Michelle Obama Says She “Will Not Be Running For President”
-Yet.
Wait until the convention when Joe’s drool bucket is overflowing, and Kamala can’t stop cackling, then she’ll say “it is with great personal reluctance but a strong sense of duty to my Country and my party that I accept the nomination for President of the United States...”
THIS^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS
Just watch and see who releases a book and begins making media appearances and speeches.
Manchelle is lazy and likes the ritzy life. Enjoys hanging around rich white leftists on yachts.
I guess the Obama kids are back to their real parents.
She and her consort are living the billionaire lifestyle they always craved, so what do they care who the President is? For them, nothing will change.
I think it was Clay & Buck who said she was to lazy.
If she had just said “no”, that would have been much more credible than pairing it with that she backs Joe and Kammy—as if that is what is keeping her from running.
She’s looking to run.
The only reason she won’t run is if it looks like Trump will beat her.
Why does anyone assume the elected Democrat party would be ok with this?
Hillary held office and was Secretary of State.
Michelle supervised a vegetable garden and toned her arms. She raised 2 daughters and entertained WH guests.
Kamala isn’t stepping aside for Mrs Obama.
What about Jill?
She can run just as easily. She reads the daily security briefs...........................
