Michelle Obama set to lend star power to Biden
The Hill ^ | 04 16 2020 | Jonathan Easley and Amie Parnes

Posted on 04/16/2020 12:11:04 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is planning a rollout for Michelle Obama’s endorsement, although there are questions around just how public a role the enormously popular former first lady will play in his campaign.

Sources tell The Hill that the Biden campaign’s early plans include a focus on remote fundraising and voter registration efforts.

The trick for Michelle Obama and the Biden campaign is finding the right balance for the pop culture icon, who could be a massive asset for the campaign but has never shown much enthusiasm for campaign politics.

A source close to Michelle Obama said the former first lady would likely get her own moment to spotlight her support for Biden, after giving at least a week for her husband’s endorsement to be at the forefront.

“The Biden campaign will take anything they can get from her. The question is, as a family matter, what kind of profile does she and her husband and her daughters want her to have?” said Howard Gutman, a former Obama administration ambassador. “It’s a question of how much they want her to be out there in the crossfire.”

It looks like Michelle Obama isn't troubled by the sexual assault accusations regarding Biden.

I think the plan is for her to be VP and to make her President for 10 years if Biden wins with mail-in ballots and retires in 2.

Anything said against Big Mike is just pure racism or something.

Not a peep from Hillary regarding a Biden endorsement. Are the Democrats getting ready to oust Slow Joe to give her a third shot at the presidency? Personally, I believe she will never be a presidential candidate ever again. At this moment she probably thinks it’s all being set up for her to take over for an “incapacitated” Biden, but I believe the Obamas have pulled the rug out from under her.

Whoever is VP will be the de facto shadow potus while Biden enjoys jello from a paper cup watching West Wing reruns in the WH family quarter
