Michelle Obama breaks silence on potential presidential run as aging, gaffe-ridden Biden urged to step aside
FORMER First Lady Michelle Obama has been forced to shutdown speculation that she'll run for president in 2024.
Obama, 60, previously said that she "detested" the question over whether she'd launch a bid to serve as commander-in-chief.
“Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
Obama has stayed a relevant public figure though Barack Obama, her husband and 44th president of the United States, was last in office in 2017.
Sources familiar with the discussions say she intends to assist the Biden campaign this fall, as she did four years ago, NBC reported.
"Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit, it affects us in ways sometimes I think people take for granted."
Obama reveled to Oprah in a discussion last year that she would not run for president because it was a hard job.
“Politics is hard,” she said in a Netflix special.
He also added that the oldest president in office appears “mumbly.”
A poll showed that 27% of Americans think Biden is too old to serve a second term, according to data from ABC News and .
Biden has also fallen while climbing into Air Force One on several occasions throughout his time in office
He also took a tumble when he tripped on a sandbag during the US Air Force Academy Graduation Ceremony in June last year.
After an investigation from January 2023 regarding mishandled classified documents was blamed on him being "an elderly man with a poor memory," Biden finally made a public remark.
"My memory is fine," he said at the White House on February 8, 2024.
