Whispers of Michelle Obama’s potential presidential candidacy have grown louder as comments of her claiming she is “running” resurface.
The former First Lady’s alleged aspirations for the Oval Office, orchestrated by her husband Barack Obama, have ignited discussions among political circles.
While neither of the Obamas has officially confirmed these rumours, reports suggest a concerted effort to gauge support for Michelle’s candidacy.
Sources close to the former First Lady claim that she has expressed intentions to run, backed by her husband’s subtle manoeuvres within Democratic circles.
Amid concerns over Joe Biden’s faltering approval ratings and the perceived threat of a Donald Trump resurgence, attention has turned to Michelle Obama as a potential alternative.
Reportedly, “Obama has polled donors,” according to the New York Post.

Michelle has expressed trepidation about the possibility of a Trump victory, hinting at her possible election bid at the same time.
“I plan to run,” she reportedly told individuals in New York in 2022, followed by a more recent sentiment of being “terrified” at the prospect of Trump winning again, suggesting a deliberate exploration of her candidacy.
However, questions linger about Michelle’s ability to unite a fractured political landscape, given past criticisms of her interactions with certain groups.
