A recent wave of speculation has emerged surrounding an alleged plot within the Democratic Party to replace President Joe Biden as their candidate for the 2024 presidential election. This theory, heavily covered by several media outlets, suggests that former First Lady Michelle Obama might be positioned as the new Democratic nominee.
According to reports by sources like the New York Post and the Gateway Pundit, veteran columnist Cindy Adams has revealed a purported plan orchestrated by Barack and Michelle Obama. The plan reportedly involves President Biden announcing his decision not to seek re-election by May 2024. This would then pave the way for Michelle Obama to be nominated at the Democratic National Convention in August (WLT Report) (The Gateway Pundit).
These reports also claim that Barack Obama has been polling major Democratic donors to gauge their support for Michelle’s potential candidacy, indicating significant behind-the-scenes maneuvers to ensure a smooth transition. There are also mentions of Michelle Obama discussing her potential run with CEOs in New York back in 2022 (The Gateway Pundit).
Adding fuel to this speculation, former Ohio Governor John Kasich has voiced his belief that the Democratic Party might be seeking an alternative to Biden due to his declining approval ratings and concerns about his capacity to handle another term (Daily Express US). Despite these claims, it’s important to note that there is no official confirmation from the Obamas or the Democratic Party about such plans. As the political landscape evolves, these rumors may either gain traction or fade, depending on the actions and statements of the key figures involved.
For now, the story remains speculative, but it has certainly sparked a conversation about the Democratic Party’s strategy for the upcoming election (WLT Report) (The Gateway Pundit) (Daily Express US).
