Conservatives have speculated that Michelle Obama could replace Biden in the presidential race.
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."
Conservatives, meanwhile, have speculated that Michelle Obama could replace Biden in the presidential race.
"I think that it should not be shocking to see someone like Michelle Obama take the role of the nomination," former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Saturday.
After the special counsel's report on Biden's alleged mishandling of classified materials was released, Ramaswamy said that the former first lady offers Democrats "a convenient path out of that problem" because she is "an alternative to Biden that they may view as more palatable in a general election."
Texas GOP Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Friday on X, formerly Twitter: "I’ve said for over a year many times that Joe Biden would not be on the ticket and Michelle Obama would be the likely nominee. It’s clear the Democrat deep state run by Barack Obama knew they had to take him down to give them a chance in November."
“If I run Barack and win, maybe we can get a chef that can swim”
Why would she? She’s living a life 99% of us could only dream of.
1) She hated every day in DC.
2) POTUS is too much work and she’s living her life in Hawaii.
3) Trump would play that clip of her snarling, “All this for a d@mned flag” 24/7. And a few of her rumpled panty lined backside.
This Michelle Obama fantasy is going to pop up every election cycle until she finally croaks from old age. The Republican establishment use to do the same thing every election cycle with Colin Powell during the 1990’s and 2000’s. But at least Powell actually had some qualifications, Michelle Obama has never done anything of note in either the public or private sector. Not to mention it was not much of a secret she hated life in the Whitehouse and all the restrictions that came with it. She’s got money, she’s a media darling, why in the hell would she risk all that for a job she doesn’t want and would likely hate? Besides does anybody really think democrats with actually experience and ambition like Gavin Newsome are just going to stand aside and let the party hand her the nomination without running or winning a single delegate?
Yesterday, someone commented if they are going to stick with Kamala, then we should start seeing pro-Kamala articles this week. The article will have the slant of how Harris “has grown into the job” over the past three years.
Voila! Right on schedule!
“Kamala Harris Says She Is Ready to Serve as Biden Faces Age Scrutiny”
“In recent months, Harris has taken on greater and more public responsibilities. She has become the administration’s lead messenger on abortion rights, was put in charge of the White House’s new Office of Gun Violence Prevention and is playing a higher-profile role in the administration’s handling of the war in Gaza. “
“laying the groundwork for “draft michelle” movement”

“Conservatives have speculated...”
Yes, only conservatives have speculated. Because some conservatives are weirdly obsessed with this idea.
It’s been widely reported. And makes a lot of sense.
don’t be surprised if Dr. jill runs in Joe’s place. after all, she is already adept at cleaning up his qwap.
Agreed. If you are 50+ and living the life of a cosmopolitan multi millionaire, I can see why you would want nothing to do with that sht.
Michelle Obama won't replace Biden in 2024, former senior Obama advisor says
Gavin Loathsome for POTUS, Big Mike as Veep.
I would assume they’d go with Newsome.
But they always lie, so Big Mike must be the candidate.
Actually, Michelle spent most of her reign as First Lady, flying around on AF1, vacationing with Oprah and Beyoncé, dancing with Ellen DeGeneres. When she wasn’t doing that, she was planting a garden, starving school children and complaining about sacrificing by living in the WH.
It’s been reported....But “they” really are not “your” sources...
Well, it would give her endless opportunities to play the victim as more white people find her "invisible."
They are the sources I am referring to and they make perfect sense.
Yep- just like when the left came out and said abput Biden about the do uments report “Biden is very worried about what they might find”
As soon. As they said that it told me “the fix is in, he is not going to be charged!
They did the same with hunter when he was charged with several,things- they said “we are worried about what they will find”
They knew the outcome, and were just saying that to cover up the fsct that they were assured nothing would come from the investigations.
The left are so readable it isn’t even funny
She’s got how many luxury homes all over the U.S., including Washington DC, Chicago and Hawaii?
She flies around on private jets with her friends and family to high end vacations spots all over the world - and is treated like a grand celebrity and fawned over by the media.
Why would she want to give any of that up?
Michelle”, no. Mike, yes!
Sources to me...means original first hand knowledge.
Not just regurgitating...the MS BS....
Oh well...carry on.
