As we march toward November, Democrats face an increasingly difficult situation. Joe Biden is the incumbent. But he is dealing with terrible approval numbers, bad polling, and physical and mental struggles.
Some Democrats have been whispering about a possible replacement. Those talks seem to have been squashed by the liberal establishment.
But some conservative commentators have claimed the party was gearing up to replace Biden, at the 11th hour, with former first lady Michelle Obama. As far-fetched as this plan seems, some believed Obama was only waiting for the right moment to make her announcement. Now, it’s come.
From Daily Caller:
Michelle Obama’s office made it clear that the former first lady has no interest in seeking the executive office in a statement shared with NBC News…“Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign…
Michelle Obama previously told Oprah Winfrey why she never planned to appear on the ballot in a Netflix special.
Michelle Obama’s office released a statement putting away rumors that she was going to run for president. The statement made it clear that Obama supports Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s reelection bid.
This puts to rest rumors that have been popping up over recent months and years. It seems some conservatives have stoked the flames of these speculations, without a single shred of evidence.
Obama had previously talked about entering politics. And she said she never planned to appear on a ballot. She once told Oprah that politics “is hard” and that it has to be “in your soul.”
Aside from serving as first lady beside Barack, it appears Michelle never had this kind of thing in her soul. It seems she can earn a much better living speaking at events around the world, bringing in large sums of money for little work.
That must sound much more attractive to the former White House wife, than putting up with Congress, the media, and the federal bureaucracy.
That leaves Democrats in a tough position. Michelle Obama is out, leaving only Joe Biden. But some will push more theories, that they will get rid of Joe at the last second to prop up Kamala. Sort of a disaster, that is unlikely to happen.
Key Takeaways:
- Michelle Obama announced she was not running for president.
- The former first lady will support the Biden campaign.
- Rumors spread among some commentators that Democrats would replace Biden with Obama at the last second.
