Craig Robinson says his sister Michelle Obama will never enter a White House race

Anyone hoping Michelle Obama will swoop into the 2028 race should not get their hopes up, according to the man who has known her longest.

A firm no from her brother

Craig Robinson was stopped by a photographer at LAX and asked how bad things would have to get before his sister felt she had to run for president. He said there is no such tipping point. In his view a campaign is simply not going to happen, no matter how chaotic the world becomes.

Still her biggest fan

Robinson made clear that his answer is not a knock on her abilities. He believes the former first lady would do an excellent job in the Oval Office, though he admits he is hardly a neutral judge.

Obama herself has said many times that she has no interest in elected office. She has also said she does not want to put her daughters through that level of public attention again, a point Robinson touched on as well.

Podcast talk

The siblings co-host the podcast "IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson." Asked to name his dream guest for the show, Robinson stayed coy and kept the answer to himself.
