Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s office shut down reports on Tuesday morning that she intends to run for president.
Obama’s office shared a statement with NBC News and made it clear that the former first lady has no interest in running for the executive office.
“As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Crystal Carson, director of communications for the former first lady’s office, said. “Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”
Although the former first lady will probably have a smaller role than she did in the 2020 election, Michelle Obama still plans to assist Biden in winning re-election in 2024, according to NBC.
