Michelle Obama’s name keeps surfacing on the wish list of some Democrats as an alternative to President Biden in 2024, an aberration that conservatives say is partly driven by fear among liberals and the media that probes of Hunter Biden will turn up more damaging information about the Biden family’s finances before the election.
Polls consistently show at least half of Democratic voters don’t want Mr. Biden, at age 80 already the nation’s oldest president, to run for a second term. The level of dissatisfaction has remained high as fresh allegations emerge that he may have been involved in pay-to-play influence through his son’s foreign business deals.
“Biden is pretty safe in the Democratic primary. However, he’d better make sure Michelle Obama is on his Christmas card list,” said Mike Noble, CEO of Noble Predictive Insights, which conducted the poll. Conservative podcaster Dan Bongino said the buzz about Mrs. Obama is no accident. He said it reflects concern on the left that House GOP investigators, who have already turned up evidence of Hunter Biden and associates receiving about $20 million from foreign oligarchs while Joe Biden was vice president, will uncover more information that harms the president before the election.
In 2016, when she was still first lady, Mrs. Obama told Oprah Winfrey that she would not consider running.
