Michelle Obama is not ready to go back to the White House, not even as President herself.
The Forever First Lady shut down the renewed rumors that she would make a last-minute run for office. Representatives for Mrs. Obama, 60, insisted she’s supporting President Joe Biden’s campaign ahead of the Nov. 5 election as she did in 2020.
“As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president,” Crystal Carson, director of communications for her office, said in a statement to PEOPLE.
“Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign,” Carson added.
Insiders said that Obama’s engagement would be limited due to her other commitments and “reluctance to re-enter the political fray full time,” NBC previously reported.
“President and Michelle Obama were enormously helpful in the fight to beat Donald Trump and elect President Biden and Vice President Harris the first time and we are grateful to have their voice and their support in the fight for the fate of our democracy this November,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz added in a statement, according to the outlet.
