The Great American Political Circus: When Celebrities Outshine Seasoned Politicians

Aug 6, 2024 - 18:01

Joe Biden's election campaign performance has been so abysmally weak that it has triggered an extraordinary phenomenon: an open rebellion among his own party members. 

Democrats, in a rare display of desperation, have entertained the radical notion of replacing their candidate mid-campaign.


Later, Biden announced his withdrawal with a brief, almost perfunctory statement, casting his endorsement behind Kamala Harris.


However, within the ranks of the Democratic activists, an unexpected contender has emerged from the shadows: Michelle Obama, the former First Lady, who is seen more as a celebrity than as a seasoned politician.


Although Kamala Harris has already secured the Democratic presidential nomination, the mere possibility of Michelle Obama entering the race has further laid bare the catastrophic breakdown of American political discourse.
