Former President Barack Obama remained silent when questioned about the possibility of his wife Michelle launching a presidential campaign against Donald Trump amid growing rumors. The incident occurred as he was seen leaving a restaurant in Beverly Hills, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama, aged 59, is currently on vacation aboard Steven Spielberg’s yacht near Portofino on the Italian Riviera, accompanied by Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Spielberg’s spouse, Kate Capshaw.
Photographers who caught her husband leaving the restaurant approached him with inquiries about whether Michelle intended to run for the presidency. However, he refrained from offering a response.
While Barack murmured something inaudible to the waiting photographers, he did not provide a clear answer to the question. These inquiries follow comments from prominent Texas politician and former Republican candidate Ted Cruz, who speculated about the possibility of Michelle replacing Joe Biden before the 2024 election.
Cruz, in his podcast “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” suggested that Democrats might seek an alternative to the 80-year-old Biden due to concerns about his advanced age. He stated, “Here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous: In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.”
For the time being, Michelle seems to be relishing a period of relaxation off the coast of Italy in the company of various famous personalities. The former First Lady has spent the past few weeks enjoying her European vacation without her husband. She was photographed on a boat ride with a star-studded cast, including Hanks and Wilson, as well as acclaimed director Spielberg and his spouse Capshaw.
