Former First Lady Michelle Obama has reportedly distanced herself from the Bidens, citing the family’s treatment of her close friend Kathleen Buhle, who happens to be Hunter Biden’s ex-wife. According to sources, Michelle Obama’s aversion to partisan politics and the strained relations with the Biden clan have led her to steer clear of campaigning for President Joe Biden’s re-election.
The tension between the Obamas and Bidens seems to have roots dating back years. Reports suggest that as early as 2015, former President Obama discouraged Joe Biden from running for the presidency in 2016. This apparent disagreement created a rift between the two families, with Michelle Obama feeling that Buhle was unfairly targeted for sharing details of Hunter Biden’s personal struggles with drug use and infidelity.

Moreover, it seems that Hunter Biden’s own experiences during the Obama administration have added fuel to the fire. Hunter’s memoir delves into his feelings of being ostracized and undermined by Obama staffers, leading to a sense of resentment towards the White House. These internal conflicts further strained the already delicate relationship between the families.
Despite the reported tensions, there have been discussions about Michelle Obama potentially campaigning for Joe Biden. Recent interactions between key aides from both camps suggest a willingness to mend fences and work together towards common goals. While public statements from both sides emphasize unity and friendship, behind-the-scenes dynamics may tell a different story.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the complexities of personal relationships and political alliances come into sharp focus. The backstage drama between the Obamas and Bidens sheds light on the intricacies of power dynamics within the Democratic circles. Only time will tell how these tensions play out in the larger narrative of American politics.
