Former First Lady Michelle Obama has once again shut down rumors and speculation about her possibly making a presidential run.
During an interview on “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce,” Obama made it clear that her priority is the well-being of her daughters, Sasha and Malia, who grew up under intense public scrutiny during their time in the White House.
Obama declared that she is “not interested in politics” as a mom of two.
“I was so glad when we got out of the White House,” the 61-year-old admitted, referencing the end of her husband former President Barack Obama’s second term in 2017.
“I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them. They still are dealing with paparazzi and being who they are and trying to carve out their own identity,” Obama said, referring to her two daughters.
Because of that, Michelle noted, “When people ask me, would I ever run [for office], the answer is no.”
She said that those wondering “have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”
The former lawyer added, “Not only am I not interested in politics in that way but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves — we’ve done enough.”
As far as Michelle is concerned, the “question [has been] asked and answered” and is “never gonna happen.”
She concluded, “They’ve already served their time. … It would be unthinkable. Nope.”
In his first two months back in office, President Donald Trump has made significant progress.
Officials from the Trump administration gave the American people a strong update on Sunday morning, highlighting big wins in national security, immigration, and education.
It was clear: President Trump is getting things done.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon argued for school choice and local control, saying, “He doesn’t think ANY child should be trapped in a failing school.” Trump’s goal is to give every student the best access to education, and she stressed that Washington bureaucrats can’t make better decisions than parents and local teachers.
While trying to stop deportations, Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized activist judges and said that one ruling was “out of control.” She pointed to the 261 gang members who were arrested and were now in jail in El Salvador and said, “We will follow the law and protect Americans.”
As a result of Houthi attacks, 75% of U.S.-flagged ships are now staying away from the Suez Canal, according to National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. “The last administration was not effective,” he praised Trump’s leadership. “President Trump has decided to do something much tougher and harder.” There are many choices when it comes to Iran, according to Waltz.
For example, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said that Trump’s policy of “peace through strength” is helping to move peace talks in Ukraine forward by bringing both sides to the table.
“We’re not making this up,” said Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, to confirm that Trump is following US immigration law exactly as written. Our whole actions are based on the law. The objective is to have full operational control of the border, and the administration will utilize all available resources to complete this task.
A fresh DecipherAi poll found that 48% of likely California voters are okay with electing a Republican governor in 2026.
This is a big change in the normally very blue state. Voters were angry about the high cost of living, gas, and the fact that undocumented immigrants get free medical care.
Early polls show that Democrats like Kamala Harris are ahead, but the GOP sees more chances as people become less satisfied with the government.
