It’s not really surprising that many are convinced that she should be president.
America’s fixation on this idea was pretty evident after Joe Biden stepped down from the 2024 presidential elections.
The former attorney quickly confirmed that she had absolutely no intention of doing so (viaNBC News).
This might bewhy Michelle Obama supported Hillary Clintonin the 2016 election.
Although she was arguably better with people and crowds than Clinton, Obama never launched a campaign.
TheBBCeven referred to the former first lady as Clinton’s “biggest asset” on the trail.
Eventually, though, she lost the election to Donald Trump.
She responded with a firm: “I will not run for president.
No, nope, not going to do it,” followed by a detailed list of reasons.
Considering howhaving a childhood in the White House affected Malia and Sasha Obama, Michelle’s stance is understandable.
During that year’s 39th annual Simmons Leadership Conference, she reiterated her disinterest in the position.
“And you just can’t say, ‘Well you’re a woman, run.
Moreover,Michelle also said that she had to let Barack Obama run for presidentbecause it was his passion.
Michelle even shaded our limited and myopic methods of electing a commander-in-chief and, by extension, Donald Trump.
The bestselling author expressed a similar sentiment in an April 2023 interview with Oprah Winfrey for a Netflix special.
This time, her response was kind of sad.
Does who I choose to be have anything to do with it?”

The minute you declare a party, you’ve alienated the other half of the country."
This might be whyObama has focused on non-political ventures since leaving the White House.
Despite the clear opportunity, her response remained the same: “No, thank you.”
[…] She has said over and over again, this is not her world.
She’s not going to do it," (viaNewsNation).
We’ve heard you loud and clear.
Now, if only America would listen.
