Why Michelle Obama Topped a Presidential Poll and Why She Isn't Likely to Replace Biden

B

 


B A recent poll indicated strong voter support for a potential presidential campaign by former First Lady Michelle Obama, despite her consistent dismissal of the idea. This comes as analysts and an increasing number of Democrats urge President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race following his poor debate showing last week.


B The Reuters-Ipsos poll released Tuesday revealed that Michelle Obama is the only Democrat to outperform former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical November matchup, leading by a significant margin of 50% to 39%. On the other hand, Biden was neck and neck with Trump at 40%-40%, while Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer trailed behind.


Despite her enduring popularity among voters over the years, Michelle Obama has consistently rejected any notion of running for president since the end of her husband's second term in 2017. Even as speculation about a potential Biden-Michelle Obama ticket gained steam earlier this year amid concerns over Biden’s age and abilities raised by Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, Michelle Obama reiterated her stance against running for president.


Biden's age has been under scrutiny throughout his presidency, particularly after his recent debate performance where he appeared to struggle to stay on point in his answers. Calls for him to step down have grown among Democratic pundits and lawmakers following these concerns.


Despite Michelle Obama repeatedly stating she’s not interested in running for president, some remain unconvinced with betting platform Polymarket placing her odds of being the 2024 Democratic nominee at 6%, above figures like California Gov. Gavin Newsom who had 5% odds according to Polymarket.

At least 3 killed and 87 injured, Houthis say, as Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen day after Tel Aviv drone attack

  CNN  —  Israeli  airstrikes targeted Houthi rebels in Yemen a day after the Iran-backed group claimed a deadly attack on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its fighter jets struck “military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime” in the area of Yemen’s Hodeidah Port on Saturday in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was a direct response to the death of a 50-year-old Israeli in a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv Friday. This is the first time Israel has struck Yemen, according to Israeli officials. The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said the Israeli strikes targeted oil facilities in the port on Yemen’s west coast, killing at least three people and injuring 87, most of them with “severe burns.” Houthi  spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam said the strikes had also hit civilian targets and a power station.
