A recent Ipsos/Reuters poll has shown that former First Lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat who has a clear lead over Donald Trump in a hypothetical election scenario. According to the survey, 50% of respondents stated they would vote for Obama, while only 39% said they would vote for Trump. This is a sharp contrast with Vice President Joe Biden, who was in a dead heat with Trump at 40% each.
While Michelle Obama has expressed her support for President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, she has consistently stated that she will not run for president. Despite her popularity and potential to win against Trump, it is unlikely that she will enter the race. Her communications director confirmed this in a recent statement to NBC News.
Michelle Obama has been a highly influential figure in American politics and has campaigned for important causes such as healthy eating and gender equality. While her presence in the 2020 election cycle was expected to bolster support for Biden, former President Barack Obama, her husband, has acknowledged the challenges Biden may face in this election following a tough debate performance.
