Michelle Obama's office released a statement to NBC News on Tuesday morning, putting to rest the rumors about her potential presidential run.

Instead, Mrs. Obama plans to support the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speculation about Michelle Obama's potential candidacy has been rife for months, with several high-profile political and media figures predicting that she would run for president to replace President Joe Biden.

Michelle Obama has previously expressed her lack of interest in politics during a Netflix special with Oprah Winfrey. "Politics is hard," she told Winfrey. "And the people who get into it… you've got to want it. It's got to be in your soul, because it's so important. It's not in my soul." This statement further reinforces the recent announcement from her office, confirming that she will not be running for president.
