Supporters of former First Lady Michelle Obama wrote an open letter Tuesday urging presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to pick her as his running mate.
The Draft Michelle Obama for VP committee touted the former first lady as the “most admired woman in the world†who could help Biden in his campaign to push President Trump out of office and reunify the country if the Democratic ticket is successful in November.
“As a candidate, she has the power not only to assure victory over Donald Trump but to unite a bitterly divided nation and continue her life’s tireless work for the American people. As a leader, her stature and preexisting rapport with heads of state are unparalleled,†they wrote.
Obama’s supporters note that Biden has previously said he would choose Obama if she was interested, but are urging him to extend a formal invitation to the former first lady.
