Washington is reportedly considering the candidacy of former US President Barack Obama’s wife as a real possibility: the Democratic Party has already included her in public opinion polls that help determine the ratings of potential candidates.
The media has previously claimed that Barack and Michelle Obama are urging Mr. Biden not to run for another term. However, Ms. Obama herself denied this fact – she stated that she and her husband could not be against the participation of the current president in the new elections. Mr. Obama’s spokesman told reporters that both Obamas fully support the campaign of Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Despite this, US betting companies continue to rate the candidacy of the 60-year-old former first lady as one of the most promising in the country’s presidential elections in November.
These fantasies are the result of deep disappointment, writes the German publication. Never in the history of the United States have we faced such unpopular candidates as now. 81-year-old Mr. Biden is considered too old by two-thirds of Americans to lead the country for another four years, while Donald Trump is a 77-year-old (so not much younger than his rival) candidate who spends several days a week in court (he is accused of trying to silence the actress of pornographic films with money), – many are simply afraid, writes “Der Spiegel”.
The article questions whether Mr. Obama would be willing to step into politics, which he has called a dirty business to stay away from. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the former first lady of the United States assured that she never felt the desire to get involved in politics. Six years ago, she wrote the following in her memoirs: “I’ve never been a big fan of politics. The experience gained in the last ten years has not changed my opinion.”
Obama’s declared priorities are likely the secret of her popularity: No one knows what she thinks about hostilities in Ukraine or the fight against inflation, but she is heard at seminars telling her daughters to wait on dating and not to trust men who try to dissuade them from their professional ambitions. the author of my article.
Der Spiegel’s Washington correspondent Rene Pfister suggests that a right-wing conspiracy theory is gaining ground in the US, according to which the likable and moderate Mr. Biden is just a puppet in the hands of sinister left-wing forces.
Mr. Biden announced that he would seek a second term at the end of April last year. “Every generation goes through a moment when it is necessary to join the fight for democracy. Defend your fundamental freedoms. I believe this moment has arrived. That’s why I’m running for re-election as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job,” he said then.
Mr. Biden won the 2020 the presidential election, defeating the then president of the Republican Party, D. Trump. Mr. Biden is in office from 2021. January, when he became the host of the White House as the oldest US president of all time.
