In a recent interview on CNN, David Axelrod, a former advisor to the Obama White House, set the record straight on speculation surrounding Michelle Obama’s potential candidacy in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Speaking with host Michael Smerconish, Axelrod emphatically dismissed the idea that Michelle Obama would seek to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
Axelrod, who has had a long-standing relationship with the Obamas, highlighted Michelle Obama’s longstanding disinterest in a political career.
“She never was interested in a political life. Even when Barack Obama was a young politician, she really didn’t participate much in his campaigns. I was with him in a Senate campaign in 2004, I think she showed up twice in the whole campaign on election nights.
