Can Michelle Obama save America?

There is no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden must quickly withdraw from the presidential race. If he refuses to do so, defeat is assured. Suggestions to replace him with his vice-president, Kamala Harris, also seem to be misguided – she is hardly popular.

The ideal candidate to replace Biden is the former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. In their 2020 podcast, The Michelle Obama Podcast, she and her husband suggested that one day she will be a candidate for the highest office in the country. It’s now or never.

We must tell her that defeating Donald Trump is a national emergency. He is considered by many to be the worst president in the history of the United States, and cannot be allowed to repeat the indignities he foisted upon it. If she gave her approval, there is no doubt that the Democrats’ chances of beating him would be improved, considering her experience in politics and the significant amount of sympathy she enjoys among Americans – that includes those of Republican persuasion.

If Michelle Obama refuses the offer, Democrats must find another candidate who piques the interest of voters. This rare gem will not be easy to find, but we must replace Biden. If the honest man really believes that it is necessary to prevent Trump from regaining power at all costs, he will agree to give up his apron to put all the chances on the side of the Democratic Party.
