"The main obstacle stopping the Democratic Party is they have a Kamala Harris problem, which is to say that if they do sideline Biden, the natural person normally that would be the nominee, could be the vice president of that same sitting president. But that vice president is unable, I think, to effectively carry forward that job," Ramaswamy said. "She didn't make it to the Iowa caucus in the year that she ran, right, even and within her own party, let alone an issue with broader popularity in the country."
"If race and gender are your basis for selecting someone for a job, and the identity of your party is tied to that temple of identity politics, then they will risk looking hypocritical if they sideline her after they sideline Biden. And I do think Michelle Obama offers them a convenient path out of that problem, somebody who checks the boxes that they need to have checked per their own ideology, while also selecting an alternative to Biden that they may view as more palatable in a general election . . . it's looking increasingly like it's not going to be Biden as the nominee. And I think that it should not be shocking to see someone like Michelle Obama take the role of the nomination," Ramaswamy said.
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his theory that Democrats will swap out President Biden with Michelle Obama on their party's ticket following the release of the special counsel's report.
Ramaswamy, who was outspoken on the campaign trail about the belief that the 81-year-old president will ultimately not be the Democratic nominee, told Fox News Digital the special counsel's report marks the "convenient path" for Democrats to nominate the popular former first lady.

“He’s stirring all this crap up with no evidence”
actually, all the evidence (such as it is) is contrary to Michelle “stepping in” ... just a couple of days ago:
“Michelle Obama won’t replace Biden in 2024, former senior Obama advisor says

Former first lady Michelle Obama has no plans on replacing President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, former Obama White House advisor David Axelrod said.
Axelrod told CNN host Michael Smerconish on Saturday that Michelle Obama “never was interested in a political life” even though her husband, former President Barack Obama, ran for U.S. Senate in 2004 and later served in the White House from 2009 to 2017. “She is not someone who likes politics. She doesn’t like the tone and tenor of politics.”
Speaking to the possibility of Michelle Obama replacing Biden on the Democratic ticket, Axelrod said: “I would be floored if she would consent to that. They feel that they gave 10 years of their life to this. And I’m sure she feels as Barbara Bush did when she said there has to be someone other than the Bushes and the Clintons who could be President of the United States. My guess is that’s her attitude.””
Replacing Heels-Up Knees-Wide with a tranny would be one of their biggest blunders to date. Besides, I think Big Mike said he wasn’t interested.
I just can’t believe Michelle will run. It is beyond the pale. But I think everyone knows that Barack would actually be the candidate; she’s just a technicality, so who in the Lord’s name knows?
Still think its Newsom. He appeals to the stupid white women because he’s “attractive” and LUVS abortion.
The thing is, will she be bringing her own sycophants to DC who are expecting to cut up and share the governing pie amongst themselves? If she is they might not be welcomed by the current faction that’s already there.
Even if she made a Sherman-like statement saying she would not run, I won’t believe it until the ballots are printed.
Can we stop it with the Michelle Obama nonsense.
Since we all now live in clown world 2.0. Here we have two clown contenders. Michelle O, and Kamala Harris. The US electorate is so fickle these days. That women vote for diff candidates depending on whether they have a good or bad hair day.
The black bitch-dude isn’t even capable of writing a intelligible college thesis. Dumb as dirt.
Rather the stupid Harris then the evil Big Mike.
> Still think it’s Newsom. <
White, and not a woman. But you do make a good point. Newsom has the same pretty-boy qualities that got Bill Clinton and Pierre Trudeau elected.
I’m still betting on Michelle. But now I think I’ll place a side bet on Newsom.

Vivek was the only one on the stage speaking truth during the debates. You and some others are big on calling him a fraud and maybe he is but maybe he is not.
they are defending him now to get him to the convention
then who knows?
it will be a draft michelle movement
she will be reluctant
so there will be assurances of minimal campaigning
and minimal governing
she will break biden’s vacation record
I have discussed a variety of conspiracy theories here.
When I do I have actual human witnesses—and then folks around here say they are lying or deluded.
I post actual documents—and folks around here say they are forgeries or disinformation.
But—at least I have witnesses and documents.
The Michelle crowd have neither of these—just wild speculation.
the current faction is made up of obama acolytes
this is a chance for barry to beat FDR’s record of 3plus terms
with at least 5 or more depending on who the vp is
She’s never going to run. She doesn’t want to.

Obama said as much, at one of his last press events as President.
“Michelle can’t wait to leave the White House, so we can start making some money.”- Obama
