Barack Obama may have expressed his support for President Joe Biden’s re-election bid, however, the role his wife may play has not yet been answered.
As CNBC comments, Democrats want to see Michelle Obama play a bigger role in the campaign. There were even whispers regarding the possibility of him replacing the incumbent president on the Democratic ballot.
In a statement to NBC News, Obama’s office sought to quell the rumors, clarifying that her 2024 plans do not include a run for office.
“As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed many times in recent years, she will not be running for president,” said Crystal Carson, her office’s communications director. “Ms. Obama supports the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Sources with knowledge of the discussions say Michelle Obama plans to endorse Joe Biden’s campaign this fall, as she did four years ago. But as in 2020, her involvement is likely to be quite limited compared to her husband’s, both because of her remaining commitments and also reflecting her long-standing reluctance to re-enter the political fray full-time, the sources said. sources.
