Amid speculation that the Democratic Party will replace Joe Biden before their national convention in August, Michelle Obama’s office has issued a statement categorically denying that she will run for president.
NBC News received a statement that noted “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.”
Crystal Carson, director of communications for the former first lady’s office, added “Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
NBC News further notes that Michelle Obama plans to help Biden get reelected, but will play an even more limited role than in 2020.
The report adds that the Biden campaign plans to brandish Michelle Obama’s popularity among Democratic voters to increase voter turnout.
Michelle Obama previously told Oprah Winfrey that politics is “not in my soul,” and that she has no desire to run for president.
Speculation about her being a surprise candidate has been rife, especially after she declared that she is “terrified” of Donald Trump winning another election.
For a time, more bets were being placed on Obama winning the presidency than Joe Biden, even though she isn’t running.
New York Post columnist Cindy Adams has further stoked the rumours by claiming sources told her Barack Obama has polled donors asking how they’d feel about his wife as the Democratic candidate.
Megyn Kelly discussed the rumour on her show earlier this year, noting that the timeline is for a May announcement before the August convention:
Sources close to Trump, including Vivek Ramaswamy, have claimed Democrats are preparing to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama and that it doesn’t even really matter if she doesn’t want to run, because she won’t have a choice in the matter.
Trump himself is also adamant that he will not be running against Biden.
In January, JP Morgan Asset Management strategist Michael Cembalest predicted that Joe Biden will not make it to the 2024 election in November and will drop out of the race due to poor health, to be replaced by a new candidate.
Speculation has also focused on California Governor Gavin Newsom, who seems far too engaged in worshipping and fawning over Biden, prompting some to suspect he already knows Biden is stepping down.

If This Girlyman Was on the Ballot?-Twice as Many Votes For Trump!
Of course she won’t be running. Why would she want to suffer that degree of humiliation? She’s learning from Nikki Haley’s insane level of self denial and the justified mountain of ridicule that comes with it.
Michael is not the former first lady. He’s the former first tranny.
It would be nice to see documentation on the children’s birth, date/location of marriage and Michael’s birth certificate. Among other things.
Big Mike will not be running for president because too much scrutiny around who he really is. There are no photos of Mike being pregnant.
I think Sen. Cruz was right, she doesn’t want any part of this.
