Many on the left really want someone popular to come in and replace Joe Biden because they know he’s a loser this year with all the country’s problems and his own age and mental issues.
Michelle Obama’s name continues to come up but she is finally weighing in on it, putting it to rest once and for all.
Here’s more from Daily Mail:
Michelle Obama has ruled herself out as a presidential candidate, putting to bed speculation that she would jump in at the last minute to give Democrats an alternative to aging Joe Biden.
The former first lady maintains a star power within Democratic politics, despite largely removing herself from the political scene in recent years.
‘As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,’ said Crystal Carson, director of communications for her office, told NBC News.
‘Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.’
A recent Rasmussen survey found that nearly 50 percent of Democrats support replacing Biden at the top of the ticket, and of them more Democrats would like to see Michelle Obama, 20 percent, than Vice President Kamala Harris, 15 percent.
But the 60-year-old has said multiple times she isn’t interested in running for office and has admitted she is ‘terrified’ of the outcome of this year’s election.
‘What’s going to happen in this next election? I’m terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit, it affects us in ways sometimes I think people take for granted,’ Obama told Jay Shetty on his podcast ‘On Purpose’ in January.
