Michelle Obama sounded an alarm that’s sent Democrats into a panic.
Her comments have sparked a firestorm.
Michelle Obama just crushed Joe Biden with these eight words about his reelection.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is “terrified” about the 2024 presidential election results.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen,” Obama said in an episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast on Monday.
“Who we select speaks for us. Who holds that bully pulpit, it affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted.”
“The fact that people think that: ‘Government, does it really even do anything?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us,’” Obama, 59, continued. “And we cannot take this democracy for granted. And sometimes, I worry that we do,” Obama said.
“Those are the things that keep me up.”
Michelle Obama also said that wars “in too many regions,” artificial intelligence, education, people being “too stuck” on their cell phones, and waning voter engagement were keeping her up at night.
“Are people going to vote and why aren’t people voting?” Obama said.
“I mean those are the things that keep me up.”
“If anything, what does still offend you?” Shetty asked.
“Injustice, ego, greed,” Obama replied. “Racism, ignorance — it’s offensive. And I’ve always been that kid. I don’t like unfairness; I don’t like bullies. But I have to think about how I deliver messages.”
Michelle Obama’s interview comes on the heels of a report that husband Barack Obama recently met with Joe Biden to advise on changing his campaign tactics if he intends to defeat Donald Trump.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that Obama met with Biden for lunch in December to discuss making these changes to his reelection campaign.
One idea Obama put forward was for Biden’s 2024 campaign to have more authority and be allowed to make decisions without prior clearance from the White House.
“Obama also recommended that Biden seek counsel from Obama’s own former campaign aides, which Biden officials say they have done,” the Post added.
As one top Democratic strategist told Axios, “Someone wants to light a fire under the asses of some of these people.”
According to all poll results so far, Trump is strongly on track to win the Republican primary nomination and in a favorable position to face-off against Biden in the general election.
And in a poll of six key swing-states released on Monday by Redfield & Wilton Strategies (in partnership with The Telegraph), Trump is leading against Biden in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
