A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that Michelle Obama is the only Democrat who could potentially defeat former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical presidential race, leading by 11 points.
This revelation has ignited conversations about her potential candidacy and its ramifications for the Democratic Party and the 2024 presidential election. Enthusiasts argue that her popularity and public service record could galvanize voters, offering the party a robust chance against Trump.
