Michelle Obama Won’t Go Into Politics Because Of Her Daughters

Michelle Obama shared that she has no intention of entering politics, citing her daughters’ well-being as the primary reason. Speaking on Kylie Kelce’s podcast, the former First Lady explained that her daughters, Sasha and Malia, faced intense public scrutiny during Barack Obama’s presidency and deserve a life away from the spotlight. Obama said she was relieved to leave the White House and emphasized the importance of her daughters having the freedom to shape their own identities. Despite frequent public pressure due to her popularity and approval ratings, she stated that reentering public office would be “unthinkable,” given the sacrifices her family has already made.
