A committee to draft Michelle Obama as Joe Biden’s running mate has formed and is already pushing attention to the former first lady in hopes she gets the spot.
Records at the Federal Election Committee said the “Committee to Draft Michelle Obama†filed late last month.
A memo to the media today said that the goal of the group is to encourage Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, to pick Obama. Biden recently said that he would pick her “in a heartbeat,†though she has expressed no interest in the position.
Over the weekend, Biden said that he is considering “significantly more than one black woman†for his vice presidential pick. Others thought to be under consideration are California Sen. Kamala Harris and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
