Michelle Obama is still being encouraged to run for president by her supporters.

On her Twitter account, the ex-FLOTUS shared a video from her recent visit to Randle Highlands Elementary School in Washington, D.C. The former first lady took part in Ellen DeGeneres’ “Greatest Night” segment during this Christmas season.

Shortly after sharing her video, Michelle’s fans encouraged her to campaign for office. Others expressed how much they’ve missed seeing her and Barack Obama at the White House.

“This woman just never stops, could she have been the greatest USA president that never was,” Twitter user @BlockLeanda said.

“Wish to see her run for the big chair! Our young people need a great role model; not the kind that we have now…” Twitter user @elizondok80 said.

“This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. Besides the tears rolling down my face, watching it I realize what we lost in the White House. What a wonderful thing Ellen. Look on those children’s faces is priceless. Michelle, we miss you & Obama so much!!” Twitter user @integrityshines wrote.

Some netizens also referred to Michelle as their first lady.

“Love you First Lady Michelle – your dignity, your grace, your enthusiasm, your charity of the heart are all missed,” Twitter user @frma_com said.

“Love my first lady!!” Twitter user @bossladryl said.

Meanwhile, Michelle previously said that she won’t run for president next year. Earlier this year, the former first lady spoke with Conan O’Brien on his podcast while promoting her memoir, “Becoming.”

The ex-FLOTUS said that one of the things that she misses the most is her and her family’s anonymity.

“I don't live a normal life. I used to. Normal is very baked into me because of how I was raised, but I also know the life I've lived for the last 10 years is no longer normal. And so, I don't know as much as I would want to, to be in a position of leadership, to kind of know what are you feeling? Because you can't experience life behind a tinted window in a car,” she said.
