You’ve heard the rumors.
For months, conservative commentators have openly speculated that President Joe Biden‘s underwater polling will bring Democrats to dump the incumbent president and nominate someone else at the Democratic National Committee in August.
Pundits casually tossed around names like Govs. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), but in the days after special counsel Robert Hur detailed what he described as Biden’s failing memory and mental faculties, one person in particular has emerged as the internet’s clear choice to take over for Biden in the White House: former first lady Michelle Obama.
Only multiple Democratic strategists tell the Washington Examiner that there’s “no way in hell” that happens.
“I’m sure there are some people in the party who wish Mrs. Obama would run for the presidency, but she’s made it very clear that she has no designs on seeking higher office herself,” one strategist familiar with Biden’s campaign strategy stated.
“This is just some ginned-up conspiracy dreamed up by grifters to spoon-feed to MAGA extremists,” a second strategist added. “There’s just one problem. We live in reality.”

Ramaswamy tells Fox News Digital that Democrats will solve their ‘Kamala Harris problem’

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his theory that Democrats will swap out President Biden with Michelle Obama on their party’s ticket following the release of the special counsel’s report.
The bombshell findings from Special Counsel Robert Hur put a spotlight on Biden’s cognitive abilities, saying he would not bring charges against him in part because a jury would find him to be a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,” despite the acknowledgment that the classified documents were “willfully” obtained by Biden both as vice president and as a senator.
Ramaswamy, who was outspoken on the campaign trail about the belief that the 81-year-old president will ultimately not be the Democratic nominee, told Fox News Digital the special counsel’s report marks the “convenient path” for Democrats to nominate the popular former first lady.
