'Democrats need a savior': Kennedy eyes Michelle Obama for 2024

'Kennedy Saves The World' host Kennedy criticizes Hillary Clinton's comparison of former President Trump to dictators, highlights President Biden's declining
support and suggests Michelle Obama for 2024 on 'FOX News Saturday Night.'

New York Post columnist Cindy Adams warned in a piece published Wednesday that
Americans shouldn't be shocked if Michelle Obama "sneaks her way into the 2024 race."

"Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is
Barack the orchestra leader," Adams wrote. "The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo
Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there?"

Adams said President Biden won't debate and said the Obama drum beat has gotten
"louder."

"A Joe flop-out offers probability Michelle could wiggle in. Obama’s negotiating to make
that happen," she added.

'ANIMATED' OBAMA URGES BIDEN TO STEP UP CAMPAIGN, 'MOVE AGGRESSIVELY' TO

COUNTER TRUMP: REPORT

Adams cited a recent media appearance by Michelle Obama.

The former first lady recently revealed she was "terrified" Donald Trump might win in 2024
during an interview on Jay Shetty’s "On Purpose" podcast.

"Those are the things that keep me up, because you don’t have control over them. And you
wonder, where are we in this? Where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next
election?" Obama asked. "I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our
leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit affects us in
ways that sometimes I think people take for granted."

Former President Obama has also voiced concern over Biden's poll numbers.

OBAMA INCREASINGLY WORRIED ABOUT TRUMP BEATING BIDEN, REPORT SAYS:

'INCALCULABLE DAMAGE'

The Wall Street Journal reported in December that Obama is among those on the left who
fear a return of Trump to the presidency.

Obama "knows this is going to be a close race" and "feels that Democrats very well could
lose," the report stated, noting the information came from a person "familiar with his
[Obama's] thinking."

The former president also reportedly worries that the alternative to Biden on the
Republican side would be "pretty dangerous for democracy."

The Washington Post reported recently that President Obama has expressed concern over
the structure of Biden's campaign, and became "animated" during a discussion about the
election with Biden.

"Obama has raised questions about the structure of President Biden’s reelection
campaign, discussing the matter directly with Biden and telling the president’s aides and
allies the campaign needs to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them with
the White House," the outlet reported.
