An idea that until a few weeks ago was condemned by the corporate press and Republican commentators as a far-right conceit, typical of such “extremists” as Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), has now gone viral. Both the New York Post and Fox News are energetically floating the possibility — even the likelihood — that the Democrats, out of desperation, will run Michelle Obama as their presidential candidate in lieu of incumbent Joe Biden.

Supposedly, Obama “can bring back the black voters who are hemorrhaging to Donald Trump.” Moreover, “the very unpopular Kamala Harris would be leapfrogged without any repercussions from the minority community.”
