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 main obstacle stopping the Democratic Party is they have a Kamala Harris problem, which is to say that if they do sideline Biden, the natural person normally that would be the nominee, could be the vice president of that same sitting president. But that vice president is unable, I think, to effectively carry forward that job," Ramaswamy said. "She didn't make it to the Iowa caucus in the year that she ran, right, even and within her own party, let alone an issue with broader popularity in the country."
"If race and gender are your basis for selecting someone for a job, and the identity of your party is tied to that temple of identity politics, then they will risk looking hypocritical if they sideline her after they sideline Biden. And I do think Michelle Obama offers them a convenient path out of that problem, somebody who checks the boxes that they need to have checked per their own ideology, while also selecting an alternative to Biden that they may view as more palatable in a general election . . . it's looking increasingly like it's not going to be Biden as the nominee. And I think that it should not be shocking to see someone like Michelle Obama take the role of the nomination," Ramaswamy said.

Michelle Obama is my wild card pick for the Democrat nominee.
I think the safer bet is Newsom or Kamala.
One thing is for certain, we will have a “President” Harris for at least a few months leading up to the November election and until Trump is sworn in on January 20.

I wish we had better choices than this, the Democratic Party needs a revamp, a massive shift of strategy, and to fight the Republican Party with vigor that the rest of the Inited States can stand behind.
Trump will never set foot in the White House ever again.
Nope not Michelle. Obama's marriage was on the rocks she disliked it so much. Martha's Vineyard rich and famous lifestyle is too hard to give up.

Michelle is all about helping kids and others she never sat back and just lived the rich life. Never. She is a woman of service to others
@WiseS3curityRepublican2yrs2Y
I’m with you on this one. Even as a figure head she’d still be in the public eye and have to do something every now and then. Based on what I’ve seen she has zero interest. Newscum I’d wager is most likely followed by Kamel.
