Michelle Obama has definitively stated she will not run for president, citing her belief that America is not ready for a female leader. She made these remarks during an event promoting her book "The Look," explaining that public sentiment, as evidenced by recent election outcomes, shows a significant portion of the population is unwilling to be led by a woman.
Obama specifically referenced the 2016 election, where a woman was nominated by a major party, and other subsequent elections, suggesting that many men still feel uncomfortable with female leadership. She expressed frustration with those who might encourage her to run, viewing it as disingenuous given the country's perceived lack of readiness for such a candidate.
She believes the nation still has a considerable amount of societal growth to achieve in this regard.
