A former staffer for President Barack Obama is sharing her own theory behind speculation former First Lady Michelle Obama has an interest in running for President.
Party strategist Ameshia Cross said during an appearance on “Cuomo.”
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s coming from the right because they really want to see Michelle Obama run, I think it’s coming from the right because they want an opportunity to tear Michelle Obama down,” she told anchor Chris Cuomo.
Cross, a former Obama campaign staffer, said it’s abundantly clear the former first lady has “absolutely no interest” in a White House bid “at any level.” Rather than run against Harris, Cross believes Michelle Obama will likely work as a surrogate to help her secure her funding.
The director of communications for Obama’s office, reaffirmed her stance in March, stating, “As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.”
Earlier this month a poll found Obama as one of the only Democrats able to beat Trump this November.
The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, reveals that Michelle Obama would surpass Trump in a hypothetical matchup, securing 50% of the vote compared to his 39%. Notably, only 4% of respondents stated they would abstain from voting altogether. The 11-point lead highlights Obama’s uniquely strong position in a highly polarized political landscape.
