US EditionMichelle Obama says US 'Not Ready' for Woman President
Michelle Obama cites persistent gender bias and 2024 election results showing 55% of men voted for Trump as evidence that America is not ready for a woman president.
- During a Nov. 5 conversation promoting The Look, Michelle Obama said the United States is not ready for a female president at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
- Declining speculation about a campaign, Michelle Obama said she will not run and cited lingering resistance among men who feel they cannot be led by a woman as a major barrier.
- A video of the conversation was posted to Michelle Obama’s YouTube channel on Friday, and a 2024 poll indicated she was seen as the only candidate able to beat Donald Trump.
- Her standing in the party means the comments carry weight, as Michelle Obama has been a leading Democratic voice and campaigned for Kamala Harris last year.
- Contextualizing the exchange, the Obamas previously endorsed Kamala Harris, spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, and issued a joint post-election statement reflecting their longstanding ties.
