Michelle Obama Will Never Run For President Amid Rumors She Could Replace Biden, Biographer Claims

Michelle Obama is unlikely to run for president despite the clamor that she should replace President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

Following Biden's disastrous performance in the first 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump, many called for him to step aside, and several wanted the former first lady to replace him in the presidential race. 

In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll only Michelle outperformed Biden and beat Trump by 11% in a hypothetical matchup. However, one of the Obamas' biographers, Peter Slevin, author of "Michelle Obama: A Life," claimed that "Michelle 2024" was not feasible because her time in the White House was reportedly an ordeal, so nothing could persuade her to go back.

"It was eight years of an ordeal. And she asks: 'Why would I do that again and try to be in charge,'" Slevin told the Daily Mail. "She doesn't want to put herself through it for one thing, and she feels as though she's done her time in the public eye."

Slevin said that during Barack's' two terms in the White House, Michelle was subjected to racist and sexist personal attacks. There were also conspiracy theories questioning Michelle's sexuality.

"People would say, 'Well, she's not even really a woman. She's a man,'" Slevin said, "They bizarrely and grotesquely questioned her sexuality."

While Michelle gained many critics, she struggled with the loss of privacy and autonomy that every first family had to face. Presidential biographer David Garrow shared the same opinion about Michelle not wanting to be the next U.S. president ever.

"She has never in her entire life had any interest in elective office, and she was consistently, deeply uncomfortable with Barack wanting to be a politician right from the early 1990s onward," Garrow told the outlet. "She could not wait for them to get out of the White House."

Michelle also previously said that being in the White House stopped them from living an ordinary life. She reportedly had to "call 12 people" to just go on a walk, and she hated the invasion of privacy.

"We can't do the ordinary things of life, you know, like go to a movie theater," Michelle said earlier this year, per the Daily Mail. "I joked in Covid when people asked, 'When we were all in quarantine how did it feel?' and I was like well, it was kind of easy for us because we've lived in quarantine for like, you know, a decade!"

Also, Michelle admitted that she "never had the passion for politics," unlike her husband. When asked in a 2022 interview with the BBC whether she would run for president, Michelle said, "No, I'm not. I'm not going to run."
