Former First Lady Michelle Obama left fans hoping for a future POTUS candidature after she delivered a powerful speech during a Kamala Harris rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
“By every measure, she had demonstrated that she’s ready,” Obama said of Harris.
“The real question is, as a country, are we ready for this moment?”
Affectionately thanking the “Kamala-zoo” community for their enthusiastic support, Obama wondered why Harris was held to an unfairly higher standard than Trump.
“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn.”
She continued: “Kamala Harris is a grown-up – and Lord knows we need a grown-up in the White House.”
The thunderous applause Obama received was reflected on social media with many touting her for a future presidential run.
“I completely respect her desire to stay out of this mess but damn I wish she would run!” one wrote.
“Why isn’t she president?” another asked.
“She would have ez won no cap,” a third affirmed.
“Sadly, she has no interest in running for POTUS! I think that, if she did run, she would win bigly!”
