Barack Obama says Michelle warned their daughters not to go into politics: ‘It’ll never happen’

Former president BarackObama has revealed that his daughters have been warned off a life in politics by thjeir mother Michelle.

Obamaappeared alongside President Joe Biden at his star-studded fundraising event in Los Angeles, where he joined the president and late show host on stage for a discussion panel.

During the conversation, 62-year-old Obama responded to the question of whether his daughters would ever follow in his footsteps and make a name for themselves on the United States political stage.

«That is a question I do not need to answer because Michelle [Obama] drilled into them so early that you would be crazy to go into politics,” he announced, speaking of his two daughters, Malia, 25, and Sasha, 22.

“It will never happen,» he followed with before Biden added that they are both “powerful young women” who are friends with some of his own grandchildren.

Instead of entering the realms of politics, both of the former president’s daughters have seemingly taken the former first lady’s advice and pursued different careers.

Malia recently made her red carpet debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where she premiered her short film The Heart, dropping the ‘Obama’ name from the credits and referring to herself as Malia Ann.

Malia wrote and directed the 18-minute short film that premiered at the festival in January in Utah.

“The film is about lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things,” the 25-year-old said in a “Meet the Artist” video from the festival. “We hope you enjoy the film and it makes you feel a bit less lonely, or at least reminds you not to forget about the people who are.”
