Michelle Obama For President? Democrats Reportedly Begged Former FLOTUS To Run In 2020
Democrats begged Michelle Obama to run for president.
Barack Obama’s wife is the most admired woman in the country, according to Gallup polls. Meanwhile, a survey from YouGov revealed that she is the most admired woman in the world, displacing actress Angelina Jolie and even U.K’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
According to Liz Peek of Fox News, the democrats begged Barack’s wife to run for president in the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this year, filmmaker Michael Moore also asked Michelle to run for office.
Some netizens also encouraged the former FLOTUS to join the political arena. Some wanted either her or her husband, Barack. Others are very confident that she can beat Donald Trump.
“I know I say this on almost every tweet of yours buuuut, if you could run or, if you're busy - which I totally get, TOTALLY - if you could get your hubby to run again, I would really, really, really-really, appreciate it,” one netizen wrote on Twitter.
“Bloomberg will not win. His reputation proceeds him. If Michelle Obama ran for president she would win. She would win over all Democrats and over Trump. Michelle Obama would wipe the floor with Trump. I Say 'Run, Michelle, Run!'” a different user wrote.
According to Peek, the democrats are begging Michelle because Joe Biden is struggling. Biden’s campaign is in freefall, with polling and donations dropping. There are also concerns that Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is too liberal to win a national election.
"Former Vice President Joe Biden is struggling. His money-raise in the third quarter was a pitiful $15 million, nearly $10 million behind Elizabeth Warren. In the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Biden’s line trends downward like a stock you don’t want to own,” she wrote.
However, according to Peek, Michelle has already declared twice that she would not run. She added that perhaps Michelle knows that “campaigning against Trump would be ugly, no matter her credentials or popularity.”
However, not everyone is convinced that Michelle will not run for office. Political commentator Tucker Carlson remains positive that Michelle will be the official nominee of the Democratic Party.
“Now, last week, the former first lady issued a statement saying that she has no interest in being president. That’s what she claimed. But there are signs that that’s not true,” Tucker said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show.
