Although Michelle Obama already revealed her disinterest in the upcoming presidential election, fans continuously encouraged the former First Lady of the United States to join the 2020 presidential race. So when Barack Obama's wife shared their Christmas card on Instagram, her followers filled the comment box of their pleads for her to run for president. Is there a chance for her to join the race?
The ex-FLOTUS captioned the photo of their family's Christmas card with a lengthy message about the holiday, hopes, goals, positivity, thoughtfulness, compassion, and caring. She thanked everyone for engaging to her every post and story and encouraged everybody to be better for themselves and each other.
Her fans quickly filled her comment box with greetings and thank you, while others are begging for them to return to the White House. "Please come back. The planet has not been the same since your sweet family was in the spotlight, and we could see your faces so frequently," one fan said. "We cried when you left the White House."
Others asked Michelle Obama if she could run for president in 2020, saying her decision to join the presidency would bring joy and peace to the nation. There were also some who said they needed her as the new president.
The 55-year-old lawyer already issued a statement insisting that she was not interested in running for president. However, political commentator Tucker Carlson said it could only be a "rouse." Talking to Fox News Live, he noted that there were signs that her claims were not true.
He explained, via Express, that the attacks of former U.S. President Barack Obama's adviser, David Axelrod, on Democrat Joe Biden was a sign that Michelle Obama could enter the race. The 44th POTUS also refused to endorse Biden, although they were known for their bromance, playing as his vice president back in the days.
Carlson continued to say that Barack Obama didn't want to endorse Joe Biden because he might have other plans. To add fuel to the fire, the Fox News anchor added that the recent release of Michelle Obama's journal could be a "coincidence" as it would allow her to "get on the road and talk to the crowd."
Barack Obama's presidential memoir, alternatively, was also supposed to come out this year, but it was moved to the middle of the Democratic primaries. Hence, when the Democrats would be busy thinking about how to beat Donald Trump, the public would be talking about the Obamas because of their books.
