Michelle Obama is once again making it clear — she’s not running for president. And she doesn’t believe America is ready for a woman to lead the country.
During a conversation with actress Tracee Ellis Ross at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on November 5, the former first lady shut down renewed speculation about a potential “Michelle 2028” campaign. The event, part of the press tour for her new book The Look, came amid viral social media posts and signs urging her to enter the race following the 2024 presidential election. But Obama, 61, didn’t mince words.
“Well, as we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” she said, referencing Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris. “That’s why I’m like, ‘Don’t even look at me about running, ‘cause you all are lying,’” she added, before doubling down with, “You’re not ready for a woman. You are not. So don’t waste my time.”
The audience erupted in applause as Obama elaborated further, saying, “We got a lot of growing up to do, and there are still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.”

While her words struck a chord, they weren’t surprising. Obama has consistently said politics isn’t her calling.
Obama recently opened up on The Sherri Shepherd Show about why she avoided wearing braids during her eight years in the White House with husband Barack Obama — and why she chose to embrace them immediately after leaving. “I knew that I wasn’t going to do braids as First Lady because that would be all people talked about,” she explained. “When I cut bangs in my hair, oh my god. And that became a thing. I was like, well, let me not make braids a conversation.”
The former first lady said her decision to wear braids post-presidency was deeply intentional, symbolizing a return to herself after years of public scrutiny. “Anything I choose to do is appropriate. Anything I choose to do is professional. It’s who I am and what I say that matters,” she powerfully stated.
