Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy warned Republicans not to become complacent as the Democrats are preparing to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama.
During a recent discussion with Benny Johnson, Ramaswamy said:
“I personally think it’s gonna be Michelle Obama…and people say she doesn’t wanna run, she doesn’t have any choice in the matter really,” said the entrepreneur.

“The idea that her choice actually matters, it doesn’t matter, these people are puppets, they’re pawns,” he added.
“Most of them are coin-operated either directly or indirectly” by the donor class, said Vivek, noting that former U.N ammbassord Nikki Haley was in the same boat.
“I think that the people that control their puppets know what they’re doing, and they will pick the one that maximally sidesteps their Kamala Harris problem, which maximizing their odds of pulling a short-term stint that rushed their puppet over the finish line, so if I had to pick today I think that’s who it’s gonna be,” he concluded.
Earlier this month, Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital the special counsel’s report marks the “convenient path” for Democrats to nominate the popular former first lady.
“The main obstacle stopping the Democratic Party is they have a Kamala Harris problem, which is to say that if they do sideline Biden, the natural person normally that would be the nominee, could be the vice president of that same sitting president. But that vice president is unable, I think, to effectively carry forward that job,” Ramaswamy said.
“She didn’t make it to the Iowa caucus in the year that she ran, right, even and within her own party, let alone an issue with broader popularity in the country.”
“If race and gender are your basis for selecting someone for a job, and the identity of your party is tied to that temple of identity politics, then they will risk looking hypocritical if they sideline her after they sideline Biden,” he added.
“And I do think Michelle Obama offers them a convenient path out of that problem, somebody who checks the boxes that they need to have checked per their own ideology, while also selecting an alternative to Biden that they may view as more palatable in a general election . . . it’s looking increasingly like it’s not going to be Biden as the nominee. And I think that it should not be shocking to see someone like Michelle Obama take the role of the nomination,” Ramaswamy said.
The prospect of Trump winning keeps Michelle “up at night.”
