Michelle Obama expressed her fear and concern for the potential outcome of the 2024 election during a Monday podcast interview. She emphasized the importance of selecting leaders and the impact they have on society, stating that it is something that people often overlook.
"People's perception that the government doesn't really do anything really astounds me. We must not take our democracy for granted as the government plays a crucial role in our lives. Sometimes I worry that we do. These thoughts keep me up at night," she expressed.
Her remarks coincide with President Joe Biden's increasing focus on his reelection campaign, emphasizing that the future of democracy is at stake this year.
Many Democrats are worried that his message is not connecting with voters, citing polls that suggest a tight race with former President Donald Trump. In the interview, the former first lady also expressed concerns about voter turnout and the reasons behind low voter participation.
"Those are the things that keep me awake at night, because they are beyond our control. It makes you wonder: Where do we fit into all of this? Where are our hearts?" she expressed.
Later, Obama implied that there may be a double standard in regards to Trump's legal issues and speculated what the outcome might be if a Black man found himself in a similar predicament.
"The obstacles in life are not the same for everyone, that's what I've come to understand," she stated before addressing the double standards in politics. "Some individuals can face multiple indictments and still pursue public office, while black men are not afforded the same opportunity. You simply learn to excel despite the challenges. Ultimately, you reap the rewards of that added resilience."
