Michael Moore pushes Michelle Obama to run for president: She would 'crush' Trump

Michelle Obama to Dems' rescue?
Former first lady Michelle Obama is resisting calls for her to run for president, saying there's "zero chance" that she will seek the Oval Office. In a new interview published in Amtrak's magazine The National, Obama sat down with 12-year-old journalist Hilde Lysiak to promote her Better Make Room campaign aimed at engaging college students. The kid reporter pressed Obama about seeking the highest office in the land. "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," Obama responded. "But sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office will never be one of them. It’s just not for me."

The interview appeared as liberal filmmaker Michael Moore urged the former first lady to run for president following Wednesday night's Democratic debate. Moore apparently has his doubts about the field of Democratic potential challengers to President Trump, led by the front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden.

A Michelle Obama candidacy could arguably inspire Democratic voters who remain unimpressed with the current crop of 2020 candidates – and perhaps save her husband’s legacy after so many of the potential nominees attacked former President Obama and his policies during Wednesday's debate.
