Michelle Obama is still resistant to calls for her launch a 2020 bid for president.
The former first lady told Amtrak magazine the National there is “zero chance” she will challenge President Trump for the White House, saying there are plenty of other ways she can improve the country without being president.
“There are so many ways to improve this country and build a better world, and I keep doing plenty of them, from working with young people to helping families lead healthier lives. But sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office will never be one of them. It’s just not for me,” she said.
Obama has long been adamant that she has no desire to run for public office, but that has not silenced the calls for her to jump in the race. Just this week, director and liberal activist Michael Moore said Obama is the only person who could “crush” Trump.
Her popularity has remained high since she left the White House in 2017. A recent poll found Obama, 55, to be the most admired woman in the world. Her memoir, Becoming, was the best-selling book of 2018.
