Former First Lady Michelle Obama has consistently mentioned that she is not interested in running for president, despite speculation from a congressman suggesting otherwise. Rep. Andy Ogles from Tennessee proposed that Hunter Biden’s recent guilty verdict could create an opportunity for Mrs. Obama to step in. He believes that the Biden family’s issues could prompt Michelle Obama to enter the race. The congressman expressed that the Democrats are scrambling for an alternative candidate, implying they lack confidence in President Joe Biden’s ability to win another election.
Ogles criticized the focus on Hunter Biden’s legal troubles, labeling it as a distraction from more significant allegations against the Biden family involving foreign financial dealings. He emphasized the need to address these matters and bring them to court. The congressman’s sentiments echo the frustrations many conservatives have regarding what they view as dishonest practices by the Bidens.

In separate commentary, a Democratic pollster also criticized President Biden’s decision to run for re-election, suggesting that the Democrats would have been better off with a different candidate. The pollster highlighted the president’s low approval ratings, reinforcing the idea that the Democratic Party faces challenges with Biden as their frontrunner. These sentiments align with conservative beliefs that Biden’s leadership is inadequate and potentially damaging to the country.
Despite the speculation and critiques surrounding Biden, recent polling data indicates that Michelle Obama may not have an easy path to victory either. A March poll showed her trailing former President Donald Trump by three points. This suggests that even if she were to enter the race, she could face significant challenges in gaining voter support. Conservatives may view this as a positive sign that their preferred candidates still have a strong chance of prevailing in future elections.
