JUST IN: Michelle Obama’s Alleged Plot To Replace Biden Revealed
A new report suggests that former First Lady Michelle Obama is testing the waters for a 2024 presidential run as she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, leave open the possibility that they will strong-arm President Joe Biden out of running for reelection.
According to insights by New York Times columnist Cindy Adams, Michelle Obama has been surveying New York’s high-level Democratic donors to gauge their support for her insurgent candidacy. The plan, Adams writes, involves a Manchurian incumbent who stays in the race through May and gracefully steps aside, allowing Michelle to capture the Democratic Party’s nomination at its national convention in August.
“Around May, Biden announces he’s not running (even mentally). The so-called plot is that come the August convention, Michelle gets nominated.
Next step, Hunter’s father — the temp — drops out just before that convention.
For now, he still play-acts like he’s a real candidate.”

Adams adds her sources have confirmed “Obama has polled donors” and that they are “credible sources few have access to and usually not meant for the noses of the media.”
The onetime White House occupant generated headlines earlier this month when she stated she is “terrified” about the possibility of a second Trump presidency.
“Things that keep me up because you, you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are people that, where are we in this? You know, where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election? I am terrified about what could possibly happen. Because our leaders matter. Who we select. Who speaks for us. Who holds that bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I sometimes think people take for granted,” Michelle said on a recent podcast.
Her skepticism about Biden’s chances adds fuel to earlier comments by former Obama advisor David Axelrod who encouraged the elderly incumbent to examine whether it was “wise” for him to run for reelection, adding the “stakes are too dramatic to ignore.” The remark provoked outrage among President Biden and top members of his staff and led Axelrod to insist he was not encouraging Biden to drop out.
If the president were to exit the national stage, Michelle Obama would still need to elbow her way past Vice President Kamala Harris, who has steadfastly defended her boss as “very much alive” in light of cratering poll numbers suggesting Americans are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with both Biden’s age and job performance.
