Former first lady Michelle Obama’s name has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Joe Biden, whose approval ratings have hit a new low.

“The fact that people think that government — ‘Eh, you know does it really even do anything?’ — and I’m like ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted,’” wrote the former first lady.
“And sometimes I worry that we do. Those are the things that keep me up,” she added.
