Cute.

While in St. Louis, I stopped by @Target to run a few errands and check out the paperback of my book, #TheLightWeCarry. I left behind a few signed copies – if you find them, let me know!

Not sure how many more ways Michelle can say she's not running, but it's not stopping pollsters and a lot of fans... 50/39 is impressive. No wonder Republicans have been so frightened and pumping the idea. Maybe if Foggy calls Michelle she'll change her mind?

Michelle Obama only Democrat to beat Trump in new poll
BY LAUREN SFORZA - 07/03/24 8:15 AM ET

Former first lady Michelle Obama is the only Democrat to beat former President Trump in a new poll Tuesday. The survey, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found Obama was the only Democrat with a lead on Trump in a hypothetical match-up, garnering 50 percent support to his 39 percent. Only 4 percent of respondents said they would not vote at all.

Meanwhile, the poll found, President Biden and Trump are neck and neck in a head-to-head match-up. They each received 40 percent of the vote, while 8 percent said they would vote for someone else, and another 8 percent said they would not vote.

Obama was the top choice among Democrats to replace Biden on the 2024 ticket, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released in February. Despite her popularity, the former first lady has repeatedly said she will not be pursuing a bid for the White House.
***
Other Democrats floated as potential replacements to Biden in the poll included Vice President Harris, who received 42 percent in a head-to-head match-up with Trump, who received 43 percent. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) trailed Trump by 3 percentage points, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) trailed by 5 points in a hypothetical contest with the presumptive GOP nominee.
***
The poll was conducted online July 1-2 among 1,070 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

The right wing are going to start up the whole Michelle is a man bullshit again. And if she even tilts towards running Trump will jump in on it and push it even harder than birtherism.

Every time they do that disgusting stuff, they lose another swing voter.

Patriotic! Great photo! We know she has zero interest, but seeing the screaming, seething and heads exploding over a Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama 2024 ticket would be a meltdown for the ages. No matter who the VP nominee is, #VOTE!

How it started. How it's going.

Ten years later, and it's still a good look! http://IWillVote.com

For those who can't see the tweet, Obama included two photos - the first is of him in his brown suit, the second is of VP Harris in her brown suit.
