A political disclosure to the "Daily Telegraph" indicated that the government estimates Joe Biden is unlikely to be the Democratic candidate for the upcoming 2024 presidential elections and may withdraw before the first primaries. This would leave insufficient time for a grassroots candidate to emerge, positioning Michelle Obama, the wife of former President Barack Obama, as a potential 47th President of the United States.
Although this scenario is surprising, writer Tim Stanley mentions British sources that substantiate this account. In an article published by the Telegraph, he states that "when governments deal with Biden, they feel like they are interacting with the administration's facade, but he is not always in charge," suggesting that the world will understand the Democratic Party's decision to exclude him from their calculations.
Stanley expresses that Kamala Harris, the current Vice President, is unsuitable for leading the country and that the competition will be between two "unpopular" candidates: Biden, who is "unpopular" and aging, and Donald Trump, who faces numerous legal challenges that may hinder his return to the White House.
He discusses the difficulty of presenting an alternative Democratic candidate with limited time remaining. At the same time, there exists a "conspiracy theory" suggesting that Michelle Obama's rise could symbolize a "third presidential term" for her husband, Barack, particularly since "about 75 percent of those who worked in the Obama administration are now employed by Biden," according to the BBC.
