There is widespread speculation that the Democrat Party’s only hope for victory in 2024 is to “parachute in” former First Lady Michelle Obama as the presidential nominee.

Polls show that Michelle is far more favorable and more admired among Democrat voters compared to both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz made the bold prediction during his podcast “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” (Trending: Biden Breaks Texas Town’s All-Time Record)

“Here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps the most likely and most dangerous,” Cruz said. “In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.”

“Barack Obama is already running the Biden administration,” Cruz said. “I think he is already the puppet master, behind this Biden White House.”

“I don’t think Joe Biden is the decision maker. And so, when I see the media turning on Joe Biden right now, I think the odds of Michelle Obama parachuting in in August of 2024 have risen dramatically,” Cruz added. (Trending: 8 Undeniable Facts About Joe Biden)

Podcaster Joe Rogan and political commentator Tucker Carlson also suggested Michelle Obama could enter the race.

Joe Biden currently faces an impeachment inquiry over his involvement in an international bribery scheme. Simultaneously, Hunter Biden faces three federal criminal charges and up to 25 years in prison.

At 80, Biden holds the record for the oldest-serving president in U.S. history. Should he win a second term in 2024, he would be 82 at the start of it and 86 at the end.

Making matters worse, Kamala Harris is the least popular vice president in US history. Poles overwhelmingly show she doesn’t have enough support to win the White House.

Tucker Carlson argued that Democrats are looking for ways to replace Biden. “I think this is to make way for Michelle,” Carlson said. “Just my view. Not provable. We’ll see.”

Former GOP presidential campaign advisor Myra Adams says that Michelle would benefit tremendously from her “rock star” status, similar the Democrats’ obsession of former President Barack Obama in 2008. (Trending: Joe Biden’s Legacy, A Closer Look)

Michelle Obama is consistently one of the more popular public figures in the United States. A recent YouGov poll found that 77% of Americans have a favorable opinion of her, while only 15% have an unfavorable opinion.

If Joe Biden does not run for re-election in 2024, Michelle Obama would be a leading contender for the Democratic nomination. A recent Hill-HarrisX poll found that she is the second most popular potential candidate among Democratic voters, after Vice President Kamala Harris.
