January 29, 2020 "Of course I would like to have Michelle Obama as vice president," said presidential candidate dem Joe Biden in response to a voter question in Muscatine, Iowa. It is not the first time that Barack Obama's ex-deputy launches, between the serious and the facetious, the idea of ​​a ticket together with Michelle. By attending the late show, when asked if she had ever asked Michelle for advice, Biden replied: just being my vice president. Then he added, "I'm kidding, Michelle, I'm kidding."

The hugely popular former first lady has always denied up to now that she plans to enter politics.

So far, among the hypotheses for the Biden ticket, those of Senator Kamala Harris, who has withdrawn from the race in the White House, and of the African-American deputy Stacey Abrams, considered a rising star of the party despite having lost (only slightly) the elections to governor of Georgia. The name of the former vice attorney general, Sally Yates, is also circulating. In January 2017 she was removed by her interim Justice Minister because she refused to apply the travel ban launched by the Trump administration.

Responding to the same voter, Biden also said that he would consider appointing Barack Obama to be Supreme Court judge: "He would be a great Supreme Court judge but I don't think he would want to."
