U.S. President Joe Biden announced on July 21 that he will not run in the November elections, citing health problems. After Biden’s withdrawal, Vice President Kamala Harris is almost certain to run for president. However, some Democrats are pressuring Michelle Obama to run.
Michelle Obama, the wife of former President Barack Obama, is the only Democrat who seems to be able to defeat Trump according to the polls. Therefore, the heavyweights of the Democrats want Michelle Obama to run.
Following Biden’s decision to withdraw, former President Obama said, “I believe the leaders of our party can lead a process that will produce an outstanding candidate. The fact that Obama did not mention Kamala Harris’ candidacy in his statement was interpreted as the Obama family was considering Michelle Obama’s candidacy.
Joe Biden is one of America’s most important presidents and a dear friend and partner to me. He showed once again what a great patriot he is by what he did today.

Obama also said that Trump’s election must be prevented, “President Biden has led us away from the four years of chaos, lies and division that have characterized the Donald Trump administration. Joe understands the risks of this election better than anyone. He understands how everything he has fought for all his life and everything the Democratic Party stands for will be at risk if we allow Donald Trump to return to the White House and give Republicans control of Congress.”
On the other hand, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton announced their support for Kamala Harris. This statement by Hillary Clinton, who previously ran against Trump, showed that Hillary Clinton is not considering the nomination.
