The possibility of Michelle Obama running for president of the United States in 2024 seems distant, according to an analysis by an American politics expert.
During participation in the WW This Wednesday (3), the CEO of Arko Internacional, Thiago de Aragão, commented on the pressure for Joe Biden to give up his re-election.
Aragão stated that the friendship between Michelle and the Biden family is a factor that inhibits any movement by the former first lady regarding a possible candidacy. “Michelle is a very good friend of the Biden family, just as Barack Obama himself is close and friends with Joe Biden. This friendship inhibits any step she might take that would give any signal, both to the party and to the press, that she is considering something,” stated Aragão.
The analyst believes that Michelle will not run for president, mainly because Barack Obama has already declared on other occasions that the family is outside the political environment. However, they are one of the first to strongly support Joe Biden so that he can proceed and continue in the electoral race.
Aura of novelty
Aragão highlighted that Michelle Obama brings an “aura of newness” for being outside the political environment, in contrast to Biden and Trump.
He believes that the 2024 campaign will be marked by many mistakes on both sides, and the impact of the polls could last up to three weeks, but then the game will be balanced again if Biden manages to survive this period of impact within the Democratic Party. “Both Biden and Trump are politicians who make a lot of mistakes. Although they are completely different mistakes,” he said.
