The Democratic National Convention is pulling out all the big stops this year with a stacked line-up of speakers.
President Joe Biden will make remarks on Monday followed by a speech from Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday former President Barack Obama is headline and fellow former Democratic President Bill Clinton on Wednesday.
But another speaker was just revealed to be in the line-up – and some Democrats wanted to see this person replace Biden on the 2024 ticket instead of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Michelle Obama will speak Tuesday before her husband's remarks, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The former first lady is highly popular among Democrats and in surveys taken before Harris became the nominee, Michelle was the only potential replacement for Biden that was beating Donald Trump in the polls last month.
In 2016, the outgoing first lady spoke at the Convention as her husband was leaving office and delivered the now-famous line: 'When they go low, we go high.'
While Democrats were scrambling last month to find a potential replacement for Biden after his embarrassing debate performance against Trump, Michelle emerged as the only challengers that could beat the former president.
While she has never held any elected position, Michelle has promising polling figures, a rare popularity among voters and ability to draw from her husband's political connections.
A post-debate poll by Ipsos last month showed Harris losing to Trump by 1 percent, but Michelle was ahead of him by commanding 11 percent.

That’s DOCTOR Jill!
It could happen. I hope I don’t barf up all the popcorn I’m gonna eat before that.
Roger Stone has been saying for three years that Big Mike was going to be the Democrat nominee.
That would be Obama/Valerie’s fourth term, so even now I wouldn’t bet against it.
I’ll bet she STILL thinks it’s her turn.
> Big Mike will emerge the nominee with Cankles as VP… <
I always thought that Michelle was their best bet to beat Trump. Sure, she’s lazy. But they might be able to convince her it’s an “all hands on deck” moment.
I can’t see Hillary as the VP nominee. But if so, Michelle would be wise to decline any meetings in Marcy Park. Strange things happen there.
If that happens, I see an Arkancide in Big Mike’s future.
The only thing I’m interested in is seeing if Biden goes off script. (and maybe some muslim/ ANTIFA riots)
With Hillary as vice president, President Michelle would suddenly become extremely accident-prone.
Oprah Winfrey
They may have negotiated a cease fire, giving Big Mike the “first black woman to be president” and Hillary to then take over as “the first full blown communist dictator president.”
Chicago hasn’t seen this many pathetic assholes since that time they had that medical trial there for hemorrhoids.
AT LEAST KAMALA DID NOT WRITE HER COLLEGE THESIS & TITLE IT :”WHY I HATE AMERICA”,
MOOCH DID THAT.
It doesn’t matter who is going to speak at the DNC. They can put on the biggest names in the Commiecrat party; I couldn’t care less, as I have no interest in watching a moment of it.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama’s mentor.
Would you trust Hillary to be straight up about ANYTHING?
Biden, Clinton, Osama, Clinton, Obama ...
Proof that Democrat voters are brain dead.
Recouped?
You get a commie either way!
Will Big Mike grab the mic and do an Al Haig “I’m in charge here” speech”??
The Democrats putting up a third potential presidential nominee in a month might be stretching it a bit even for them, but anything is possible. Never say never with Democrats.
