Michelle Obama's Possible Presidential Bid Would Put Republicans 'In a Very Difficult Position': Ex-Donald Trump Aide
Former first lady Michelle Obama's possible presidential bid would place Republicans "in a very difficult position," according to an ex-aide of former President Donald Trump.
Speaking at the CPAC event in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, former treasury spokeswoman Monica Crowley said Michelle is both popular and "immune to criticism," The Guardian reported.
Crowley noted that if Democrats were to make the former first lady run, that would be difficult for Republicans as they would reach for a candidate "who is completely plausible."
She said Michelle was a Democratic convention keynote speaker in 2020, wrote her autobiography that became a bestseller, and done a 50-city tour.
Crowley added that the former first lady also has huge Netflix and Spotify deals, with a voting rights group alongside Stacey Abrams, who is a Georgia politician and campaigner.
She said Michelle's current trajectory "is exactly what Barack Obama did before he ran for president." She further noted that Bill and Hillary Clinton both did it too, Business Insider reported.
However, Michelle has already refuted claims of her running for president during the 2018 Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston.
She said at the time that the reason why she did not want to run for president was that "you have to want the job."
Michelle continued to say that they just cannot find the women they like and ask them to do it as there are millions of women who are inclined and have a passion for politics.
Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris 2024 Bid
A November 2021 poll showed that Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris have risen as favorites for the Democratic nomination in 2024 if President Joe Biden decides not to run for reelection.
Some of the other likely candidates also include former presidential aspirant Bernie Sanders, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Harris had the most support among those candidates, with 13 percent of respondents saying they would support her. She was followed by Michelle, with the support of 10 percent of respondents, according to the Independent.
American podcaster Joe Rogan speculated Michelle's run for the presidency. Rogan told listeners of the Joe Rogan Experience in 2021 that he really believes Michelle would win if she decides to run, Newsweek reported.
The former first lady has been voted the most admired woman in the United States for three years in a row. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki earlier said that Biden's intention is still to run for a second term in office.
Michelle Obama
During her stint as a first lady, Michelle Obama advocated for healthy families, service members and their families, higher education, and international adolescent girls' education.
In 2010, she introduced "Let's Move!" which brought together community leaders, medical professionals, parents, and others in a nationwide initiative to address the challenge of childhood obesity, according to Obama White House Archives.
The former first lady and Biden's first lady, Jill Biden, collaborated and launched "Joining Forces" in 2011, which is a nationwide initiative calling all Americans to promote service members, veteran, and their families while supporting them through wellness, education, and employment opportunities.
She launched another education initiative for young people called "Reach Higher" in 2014. The following year, Michelle Obama launched "Let Girls Learn," which is a U.S. government-wide effort to help girls around the world to go to school and stay in school.
