Michelle Obama's office says the former first lady 'will not be running for president' in 2024

WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play.

Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

Supporters of Republican front-runner Donald Trump have fixated on the notion of Obama’s swooping in to replace Biden in attempt to diminish the president’s political viability and stoke the GOP base.

In a statement to NBC News, the former first lady’s office tried to rein in imaginations on the right and the left, making it clear her 2024 plans don’t include running for office.

...

“Politics is hard,” she said in the Netflix special. “And the people who get into it … you’ve got to want it. It’s got to be in your soul, because it is so important. It is not in my soul.”

This was nothing more than a right wing conspiracy theory that’s been popping up since 2016

But I have no doubt she may campaign for Biden

This idea was far more than just a right wing conspiracy. Many Left wing pundits on CNN/MSNBC/The View/Maddow/et-al saw it as a hopeful possibility. It was more of a Leftwing talking point than on the right.

The left was holding out on the possibility of the 1st Black TransMan in the White Hut.
