Podcaster Joe Rogan made a bold prediction about who he thinks could be in the potential line-up for the 2024 presidential election. On the “Joe Rogan Experience” Christmas Eve episode, Rogan said, “I really believe if Michelle Obama runs, she wins.”

There had been speculation that Obama would run in 2020. She nixed the speculation in 2018 at the Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston.

“The reason why I don’t want to run for president — and I can’t speak for Oprah [Winfrey] — but my sense is that, first of all, you have to want the job,” Obama said.

She later added, “I’ve never had the passion for politics."

Rogan said the Democratic ticket could possibly be led by Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris and called it “a double dose of diversity.” He then predicted that the Republican ticket could be led by former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and called it “a super team.”

The move might be a stretch, as Obama has never served as an elected official and has never teased a possible run for office. Obama has also been strongly supportive of President Joe Biden, who served as vice president while she was first lady.

“She’s great, she’s intelligent, she’s articulate, she’s the wife of the best president that we have had in our lifetime in terms of like a representative of intelligent articulate people,” Rogan said.

Obama had previously discussed the importance and criteria to be president.

“It requires clear-headed judgment, a mastery of complex and competing issues, a devotion to facts and history, a moral compass, and an ability to listen ... and an abiding belief that each of the 330 million lives in this country has meaning and worth. A president's words have the power to move markets. They can start wars or broker peace. They can summon our better angels or awaken our worst instincts. You simply cannot fake your way through this job,” Obama said during a Democratic National Convention speech in August of 2020.

She also mentioned in her first post-White House speaking engagement that, "Barack and I have been in public service our whole lives," she said. "Public service will always be in our blood."

Rogan has stated that he has full faith in her abilities, but his only set back is hoping that she would not get caught up in the same policies that many politicains are supporting now.

“The only thing that would stop her is if she bought into some of these policies that are destroying businesses in America that are making people scared,” Rogan said.

“If she somehow or another supported or showed any support for lockdowns and mandates and all this craziness that’s going on,” he said.

Obama, 57, graduated cum laude from Princeton University, where she majored in sociology and minored in African-American Studies. She received her law degree from Harvard University.

Obama would later serve as an associate at Sidley & Austin, a Chicago law firm where she met Barack Obama.

Michelle Obama's 2018 book “Becoming” has sold more than 14 million units worldwide.
