Betting firm predicts Michelle Obama as possible REPLACEMENT for Joe Biden in November 2024 elections

 Former First Lady Michelle Obama could be named as the replacement for President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2024 presidential election in November, according to a betting company.

According to Newsweek, Betfair has predicted a 69 percent chance of Biden securing the Democratic Party's nomination. The 81-year-old incumbent has already won the party primaries in three states – New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. But concerns about Biden's health, which recent gaffes on his part only bolstered, have prompted speculation about potential personalities who can replace him.

These concerns also followed a report by Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur, which centered on how Biden mishandled classified documents after the end of his term as vice president. The special counsel described Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory" – which the president strongly denied in a press conference. However, the chief executive failed to convince people that his memory was fine after he dubbed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the "president of Mexico."  

According to Betfair, Obama has an 11 percent chance of replacing Biden. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and former First Lady Hillary Clinton followed Obama in that order. Interestingly, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris didn't come close to the former first lady's chances – with only 6.3 percent.

Betfair spokesman Sam Rosbottom acknowledged concerns about Biden's mental aptitudes during an interview with Newsweek. "Four years ago at the start of the primary season, Biden wasn't even the favorite for the Democratic nomination, let alone the presidency," he told the outlet. "This time around, things look a lot clearer for the incumbent"

"However, there have been a number of reports and political analysts questioning the competency of the president when it comes to running for another four years. Punters have been backing a number of potential candidates, should [Biden] step down from running."

Ramaswamy: Michelle Obama will replace Biden whether she likes it or not

In January of this year, Obama admitted she is "terrified about what could possibly happen" in the next election during an appearance on Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast. But for former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, she has no say in the matter as Democrats will push her to replace Biden – whether she likes it or not.

"I personally think it's [going to] be Michelle Obama," Ramaswamy told Benny Johnson during an appearance on "The Benny Show" podcast. "People say she doesn't [want to] run, [but] she doesn't have any choice in the matter, really."

"The idea that her choice actually matters? It doesn't matter. These people are puppets, they're pawns. Most of them are coin-operated, either directly or indirectly."

According to the entrepreneur, "the people that control their puppets know what they're doing." He told the Newsmax host: "They will pick the one that maximally sidesteps their 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 [going to] be."
