Michelle Obama for US president in 2020

The hashtag #Michelle2020 is going off on social media as people voice their hopes that the departing FLOTUS will save the US.

The resilence of human nature – while people around the world take to social media to lament or celebrate the US presidential result, there’s a growing cohort looking ahead to four years time, and they know who they want running for the Democrats – Michelle Obama.

The current First Lady has become one of the most popular political figures in recent history over the course of her husband’s Oval Office tenure, so it’s no surprise that her fans are already planning her return to the White House but this time in the key POTUS role.

Here are a few of the #Michelle2020 posts.

Michelle has applauded for her powerful speeches and significant charity work as First Lady – and in fact has received higher popularity ratings than her husband Barack and any of the 2016 presidential candidates.

But she has consistently pointed out that she does not like the world of politics and would not be running 2020.

What do you think of Michelle for Pres?
