The GOP senator said there is a 'very significant' chance of Dems making the switch to this candidate next summer.
“I think the odds are very significant that next summer at the Democrat national convention that the Democrat party will jettison Joe Biden and will throw him off the ticket, and they will parachute in instead, Michelle Obama to be their candidate,” Cruz said. “I think they’re gonna look to Michelle Obama as the savior to come in. And I think if that happens, that would be very, very dangerous.
Cruz said the “Obama pedigree” plus the favorability granted a first lady would boost Michelle Obama’s viability, while possible candidates such as Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Elizabeth Warren , California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would create dissension. “If the Democrats pick any of those four, you tick off the other three and risk alienating their supporters,” continued Cruz, who also pushed the theory on his podcast. “I think Michelle Obama brings the Obama pedigree. She parachutes in with also the suit of armor of a first lady with high positives and relatively low negatives. And I think they can justify to everyone who gets snubbed, ‘Well, look, we went with Michelle Obama instead.’ I don’t know if she wants it.
