Donald Trump and the Republicans fear Michelle Obama’s entry into the field. The former first lady, who is not running, could replace Biden if he withdraws
The shadow of Michelle Obama scares Donald Trump. The wife of the former US president is not running for president and in the past she has denied on several occasions that she does not want to run for the White House but despite this, according to a source close to the tycoon’s entourage, Trump and his supporters fear losing a victory that they already feel is their own fault Michelle Obama.
In particular Trump fears that the former first lady will step into the field at the last minute, perhaps before the summer. “You could change the games,” the lawyer told Repubblica Marc Zellvice president of Republicans overseas (party supporters who do not live in the United States) during the #Therepubblicani conference in Milan. “Joe Biden he could withdraw from the competition before the August convention, as he did Lyndon Johnson in 1968,” Zell explained.
If this happens, the Democrats are likely to bet on Gavin Newsom, governor of California, but this probably wouldn’t change much in terms of preferences. “Unless she comes in at the last minute,” concluded Zell, referring to Michelle Obama.
For her part, the first lady said she only wanted to support Biden’s campaign as she did four years ago. Several Republicans including the Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and the senator from Texas Ted Cruz they are convinced that in the end Michelle Obama will apply. At the beginning of the year the New York Post reported the indiscretion that Joe Biden he would have withdrawn, proposing the former first lady as his replacement.
Michelle Obama US president 2024, the reactions of the Internet
The possible descent into the field of Michelle Obama at US presidential elections 2024 It also aroused mixed reactions in Italy. “Maybe!!! she IS a woman, she is black, she is a Democrat and she has already served two terms as first lady…”, writes a user on X. “It would be a wonderful sign!”, writes another.
On the other hand, in addition to the inevitable and condemnable comments regarding the fact that Michelle Obama is actually a woman, there are those who criticize those who consider the color of the former first lady’s skin as a factor in her candidacy: “Ah, she’s black? Cool! And what does skin color have to do with it? Think about whether one of the right had written that Trump suits him because he is a man and white. Think about what you would have answered. Think about it, it’s not difficult.”
“The move of desperation. – adds another X user – When having no political idea that can make the world a better place, the only topics are sex and skin color. Perfect for our times”.
