Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that he believes that Democrats will likely seek to replace President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 presidential election and that they will do so by bringing in Michelle Obama.
Cruz made the remarks during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing the mainstream media’s recent push for Biden to not run again.
“Here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous,” Cruz said. “In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.”
“So, Michelle Obama, number one, you don’t infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win,” Cruz said. “But number two, you avoid the problem if you pick from any of the four, the other three are pissed [Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom], because they’re all, to some extent, peers, they’re rivals, they’re all jabbing knives at each other.”
Cruz said he didn’t know if Michelle Obama would want to be president, but said that former President Barack Obama is effectively running the Biden administration right now and that he could be running the country again if Michelle was elected.
“And that ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is unhappy about the direction this country is going and doesn’t want us to go even crazier, in an even worse direction,” Cruz said, adding that Biden would turn himself into a hero of the Democratic Party if he announced that he was not running for re-election.
“They immediately start carving him on Rushmore, figuratively speaking, the Rushmore of socialists,” he said. “Joe Biden would permanently, look, he aspires to be the next FDR. And part of how Democrats would get him to step down is by saying, ‘By doing this, you’re the next FDR; by doing this, you’re George Washington, stepping down after two terms. You’re demonstrating the ultimate statesmen principle.'”
“The Democrats are top-down, the Democrats are command and control,” Cruz later added. “And it’s because Michelle has a claim to already being at a higher level in the Democrat pecking order than any of the other contenders. It’s the only solution for Democrat power brokers that doesn’t cause a civil war.”
