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.

This bunch of neo-Marxist drones speaking is not even a little bit of a surprise
Biden should endorce Trump. He could do it by saying, “I’m the only one who could have beaten him, so minus me he’s clearly the best choice!”
I doubt it would happen but I can, occasionally dream a pleasant dream.
If Jill takes the podium, you know Festivus came early this year!
Ha!!
Hopefully Big Mike won’t select a dress that showcases Mr. Happy. 😏
The only way the DemonRats can pull off a switcharoo is to replace Cumswalla with another black. And Big Mike is darker than a farmer’s tan that is Cumswalla.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Recouped. Or uncouped, or decouped.
DNC Speakers tracker: Kinzinger, Michelle Obama added to lineup
” but will they (Big Mike) upstage Kamala Harris?”
I see what you pronouned there. :)
“Big Mike”?
Pence or Johnson?
A100%! Big Mike is going to be The One. Harris is only a placeholder 1) to push Biden from the headlines and 2) to soak up time until the last moment for the big Mike reveal.
Here’s what I’ve pieced together so far:
Monday: Biden, Hillary Clinton
Tuesday: Michelle, Barack Obama, Tim Waltz
Wednesday: Bill Clinton
Thursday: Kamala
I don’t think they’ll be swapping anyone out for Kamala.
Interesting that they give Biden such low billing. And that Billy comes after Barack. (Usually the importance of the speakers builds throughout the convention.)
I should invest in barf bags, they are going to sell out this week. So much bullsh*t is going to be spewed farmers will have fertilizer for the next 1000 years.
Isn’t it interesting how they campaigned pretty much the same? They rarely do interviews and instead rely on propaganda. Imagine you owned a company and you wanted to hire a manager but you can’t interview the person
Kamala wasn’t required to write a thesis….there’s zero info on her college degree or what she studied….she supposedly graduated from Howard, but what was her bachelors degree? There seems to be a disconnect-then she went to law school.
Just pass Kamala a bottle of champipple and she be fine y’all.
Pol Sci and Economics. So basically she believes in communism. Her father is a Marxist.
Hillary’s speech title: “When it’s NEVER Your Turn!”
I wish they’d make Mike the candidate. She is even dumber than kammy and we can also hit her with the tranny issue.
Maybe they’ll buy Cackles a nice beach house ala Bernie.
