President Michelle Obama! She found being First Lady an 'ordeal' - but could she now be tempted by the top job and replace Biden? Some may claim that was Barack's plan all along

Embattled and increasingly bitter, Joe Biden angrily lashed out on Monday when he was asked – yet again – if he'd considering stepping down as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
'Who else do you think could step in here and do this?' he spat during a phone-in interview with MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
'Run against me!' he said, daring Democrat rivals. 'Challenge me at the convention.'
The President should be careful what he wishes for.
According to recent polling, there is one Democrat who could successfully challenge him – and comfortably beat Donald Trump in November… if only she would.
A Reuters survey released last week showed that 55 percent of registered voters hold a favorable opinion of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Only 38 percent say the same of Biden.
Michelle was also the only Democrat in the poll who commanded enough public support to potentially defeat the former president in an election.
In fact, she blew Trump out the water in a head-to-head matchup (50 percent to 39 percent).
Vice President Kamala Harris and other potential Biden substitutes – including ambitious California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer – were either tied or lagged behind Trump.
