Michelle Obama claims she's 'terrified' for upcoming election. Here's why

Michelle Obama is very concerned about the 2024 election, and it’s starting to sound like the former first lady might have something in store herself for 2024.

“The things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them, and you wonder where are people, where are we in this, you know, where are our hearts, what’s going to happen in this next election,” she told Jay Shetty on the "On Purpose" podcast.

“I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit — it affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted,” Michelle added.

Sara Gonzales is not amused.

“Yeah, we know, which is why it’s a problem that we have a walking vegetable that is apparently controlling the bully pulpit,” she comments.

Entrepreneur and investor Carol Roth thinks Michelle has something else up her sleeve.

“I watched this and the first thing that popped into my head is, ‘She’s running,’” Roth tells Gonzales. “All of a sudden they’re trotting out Michelle Obama, who we haven’t seen in a very long time.”

“If she keeps popping up, that’s going to terrify me,” she adds.
