The candidacy of the wife of the former head of the country, Barack Obama, is being discussed in Washington so seriously that the Democratic Party even included her in ongoing polls about potential candidates, the publication points out.

The newspaper “The New York Post” published an article in which it is stated that the Obamas are urging Mr. Biden not to seek a second term.

True, M.Obama herself denies that she and her husband are trying to dissuade the current head of the country from running for office. Her press representative issued a statement indicating that B. and M. Obama are supporting the election campaign of Mr. Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris.

Despite this, US bookies continue to rate the 60-year-old former first lady as one of the most promising potential candidates.

“Such fantasies are fueled by great disappointment. Never before in the history of the United States have two completely unpopular candidates met in an election. Two-thirds of Americans think that 81-year-old Joe Biden is too old for another term. At the same time, many are afraid of Donald Trump, who at 77 years old is not much younger and spends several days a week in courts”, Der Spiegel analyzes the situation.

According to the publication, M. Obama is hardly ready to go into politics, which until recently she called “dirty business” and recommended to stay away from it. She has publicly stated that she was never interested in politics, and six years ago she wrote in her memoirs: “I was never big on politics fandom and the experience of the past decade hasn’t changed that.”

Probably, this is what determines M.Obama’s popularity among American voters, the publication assumes: “It is not known what she thinks about the war in Ukraine or inflation. Instead, she actively participates in seminars, where she says that she teaches her daughters not to rush into dating and to avoid men who hinder their career.”

The US presidential election will be held in 2024. in November, the inauguration is scheduled for 2025. in January

Der Spiegel columnist in America, Rene Pfister, claims that a conspiracy theory is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, according to which the likeable and calm Biden is just a puppet in the hands of aggressive leftist forces.
