The former first lady has never expressed an interest in running for president, despite speculation about her political ambitions.
Fans of former first lady Michelle Obama have urged her to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Obama, whose husband is former President Barack Obama, has never run for public or expressed an interest in becoming president—but there has been frequent speculation about a potential White House run.
Some social media users responded to a recent Facebook video Obama shared by calling on her to enter the presidential race. The comments come as President Biden has been under increasing pressure to step aside as the Democratic nominee following a lackluster performance during his June 27 presidential debate with former President Donald Trump.
Biden has said he will stay in the race and he continues to enjoy the support of prominent Democrats.
Obama posted a video on her Facebook page on July 3 in support of the Girls Opportunity Alliance, which supports girls in Chicago.
