Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that her fear of who could end up being elected to lead the country keeps her up at night in a recent interview.

“I am terrified about what could possibly happen because our leaders matter,” she said during a Monday appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast. “Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted.”

Obama’s husband, former President Barack Obama, is the largest surrogate for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign in 2024. According to Biden’s campaign, Barack Obama’s inclusion in contests, ads, and emails has helped to bring in nearly $4 million. One such contest, called “Meet the Presidents,” offered a chance to see Biden and Barack Obama in person and raised $2.6 million.

Biden will likely be the Democratic nominee once again in 2024, and he is expected to face off against former President Donald Trump in a rematch of 2020, as Trump leads the Republican primary field.

“We cannot take this democracy for granted,” Michelle Obama stressed during the episode.

She explained, “There’s such thing as ‘knowing too much,’ and when you’ve been married to the president of the United States who knows everything about everything in the world, sometimes you just want to turn it off.”

She is especially fearful of these things “because you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are we in this? Where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?”

“We cannot take this democracy for granted, and sometimes, I worry that we do. Those are the things that keep me up,” she added.

In a new national Morning Consult poll of the 2024 election, Biden bests Trump by only 1 point, 43% to 42%. The survey results continue a trend of neck-and-neck polls between the two men going into the election year.
