Former First Lady Michelle Obama has once again dismissed speculation that she might run for president in 2028. Speaking during an interview on “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce,” Obama emphasized that her focus remains on protecting the privacy and well-being of her daughters, Sasha and Malia, who spent their formative years under intense national and international scrutiny.
“Not Interested in Politics”
Obama stated clearly that she is “not interested in politics” as a mother of two.
Reflecting on life after the Obama administration ended in 2017, she said:
“I was so glad when we got out of the White House. I wanted them to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them.”
Despite being out of the White House for years, Obama noted that her daughters still deal with paparazzi pressure while trying to build their own independent lives.
Why Michelle Obama Says She’ll Never Run for Office
Michelle Obama explained that one of the biggest reasons she refuses to run is the impact such a decision would have on her children.
“When people ask me if I would ever run, the answer is no. They have no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”
The former First Lady added that putting Sasha and Malia back under that spotlight would be “unthinkable,” saying:
“Not only am I not interested in politics in that way, but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight — we’ve done enough.”
For Michelle Obama, the debate is over:
“The question has been asked and answered. It’s never gonna happen.”
Trump Administration Reports Major Early Success in Second Term
As President Donald Trump completes his first two months back in office, Trump administration officials are highlighting significant progress across national security, immigration, and education.
According to senior officials speaking Sunday morning, the administration is moving aggressively to fulfill key campaign promises.
Education: School Choice Takes Center Stage
Education Secretary Linda McMahon stressed the administration’s commitment to school choice, stating:
“He doesn’t think any child should be trapped in a failing school.”
McMahon argued that education decisions should be made by parents and local educators, not bureaucrats in Washington.
Immigration: Enforcement and Border Security
Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized activist judges who have attempted to halt deportations, calling one ruling “out of control.”
She highlighted the arrest of 261 gang members now jailed in El Salvador as a direct result of strengthened enforcement.
Border czar Tom Homan echoed this approach:
“We’re not making this up. We are following U.S. immigration law exactly as written… The objective is full operational control of the border.”
National Security: Stronger Action on Iran and Global Threats
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz noted that 75% of U.S.-flagged ships are avoiding the Suez Canal due to Houthi attacks, emphasizing the need for stronger action.
He praised Trump’s more aggressive stance on Iran, saying:
“The last administration was not effective. President Trump has decided to do something much tougher and harder.”
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff added that Trump’s “peace through strength” doctrine is helping advance peace discussions in Ukraine.
California Poll Shows Rising GOP Momentum
A new DecipherAi poll revealed that 48% of likely California voters are open to electing a Republican governor in 2026 — a significant shift for a traditionally deep-blue state.
Analysts attribute the shift to voter frustration over:
- Rising cost of living
- High gas prices
- Expanded benefits for undocumented immigrants, including free healthcare
While early polls still show Democrats like Kamala Harris leading, Republicans see new opportunities as dissatisfaction grows.
