“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
With just a little over nine months until the presidential election, a new name has dropped into the race for the White House.
But according to reporters, it’s not a new name…and she’s not a new candidate.
Former first lady Michelle Obama is running for president of the United States—and has been for almost two years, according to a news report.
Mrs. Obama held the first major event of her unannounced presidential campaign in the summer of 2022, the report says.
According to the New York Post, Michelle Obama met with a group of hedge fund CEOs and told them point blank: “I am running, and I am asking for your support.”
Adams followed up with a second column, saying she’s been told, even more recently, that “Obama has polled donors” about a 2024 presidential campaign.
“The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go,” writes Cindy Adams. If Joe steps aside, “Michelle could wiggle in. Obama’s negotiating to make that happen.”
The Obamas have done everything they can to control the Biden administration—from seeing that many “former” Obama employees now staff the “Biden” administration, to Barack Obama publicly ignoring Joe Biden at White House events, to Mrs. Obama sounding the alarm in the media that Biden is poised to lose to Donald Trump.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen” in the 2024 election, Michelle Obama told Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast two weeks ago. “The tone and tenor of the message matters. We can’t just say what the first thing that comes to our minds.”
That was a direct smack in the face of Joe Biden, who has complained for years that he feels his handlers — most of whom worked for the Obamas — are too controlling and force him to be overly scripted.
Biden thinks when he speaks from the heart, voters see him as charming and authentic.
“That is not authenticity to me. That’s childish, and we see childish leadership right before us,” Mrs. Obama continued.
That sure seems like “friendly fire.”
“Fox and Friends” discussed Adams’ columns on Monday morning—a claim left-wingers are trying to say is baseless.
But lots of people are listening to the rumors.
Former Reagan and George H.W. Bush White House and Pentagon official Douglas MacKinnon said Michelle Obama has the “It factor” to be a successful candidate.
And the Obamas’ plan to enter the White House sounds accurate to another former presidential candidate — Roseanne Barr.
Roseanne not only named Michelle Obama as the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee, but she said who Obama will tap as her vice president.
“I think it’s going to be Michelle Obama with Hillary (Clinton) as her vice,” she said last week. “They’ll do something, because they can’t lose. If they lose, they’re all going to go to jail, and they know it.”
For the Bidens, Obamas and Clintons, it’s the White House or the big house—and there are signs they plan to go for the gold this November.

Believe it or not, liberal critics claim Republicans are suggesting Mrs. Obama run for office, because they’re afraid of facing the unbeatable Joe Biden this fall.
Fox News has “promoted the idea that Michelle Obama is running for president. They REALLY don’t want Biden to run…I wonder why,” claimed a left-leaning account on X (formerly Twitter) with almost 129,000 followers.
A few Republicans also downplay the possibility that Mrs. Obama will enter the race.
“I actually think she enjoys being private and enjoying the private life. I think she wants to comment, like Barack Obama wants to comment, but I don’t think she’s running,” Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.

As recently as April, Obama told her good friend Oprah Winfrey she has no plans to run for president.

But then, politicians are known to lie—and changing her mind is a woman’s prerogative.
Would Michelle Obama make the ultimate August surprise and throw her hat into the ring if Biden looks like he can’t beat Donald Trump?
Like she said, she’s terrified about what might happen this November.
You should be, too.
