Michele Obama: The U.S. Is Still Not Ready for a Woman President
According to the Chinese website of the United States, former First Lady Michele Obama stated in a podcast interview released this Friday that the U.S. is not yet ready to elect a female president. She also pointed out that there are still many areas where the U.S. needs to grow.
This podcast interview was recorded on November 5th at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, aimed at promoting Michele's new book "The Look," in which she discusses her views on fashion and politics during her time in the White House.
Michele talked about the fact that Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. She said, "As we saw in this election, we are not ready yet. That's why I say, don't expect me to run, because you're just talking, but you're not really ready to accept a woman."
When asked if the title of "former First Lady," often seen as a symbol of the "wife role" and "feminine qualities," would affect the space reserved for a female president in American society, Michele responded, "You know, we do have a long way to go, and it's unfortunate that there are still many men who feel they cannot be led by a woman. We've all seen that."
During the 2024 election, Michele actively campaigned for Kamala Harris. She called attention to women's health care and pleaded with men to vote for Harris. This former First Lady has been one of the most influential and popular spokespeople in the Democratic Party, and for years, people have hoped she would run for president. However, Michele has repeatedly emphasized that she does not want to enter the Oval Office. (Chinese Television of the United States)
