Karl Rove was recently asked what he thought about the rightwing theory that Michelle Obama is going to replace Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee. Rove rubbished it; saying that Michelle has clearly stated she does not want to get involved in politics. Didn't even want Obama to get into it.

From Fox Business (video interview with Rove)
As President Biden's gaffes increase and his popularity plummets, banter has repeatedly surfaced about former first lady Michelle Obama serving as a last-minute replacement for the struggling Democratic incumbent at the Democratic National Convention.
However, one longtime Republican figure strongly dismissed such claims out of hand, while at the same time suggesting Biden may not ultimately be the party's pick for the general election.
Former George W. Bush Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove told FOX Business the speculation about Michelle Obama ignores the former first lady's purported disdain for the political world.
"No — look, she hates politics. Read her autobiography," Rove told "Varney & Co." "She didn't want her husband to run for the [Illinois] State Senate. She didn't want him to run for the presidency. She's not a political animal."
"People would say that's Barack trying to get a third term as president and they wouldn't go for it," he argued. Former President Obama, he said, is a "smart guy" who would understand that.
"This is a weird obsession of the conspiratorial right — and it's just lunacy, pure lunacy," Rove said.
Rove recalled that in 2020, he had to quell Republican theories about Biden being supplanted by then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with Michelle Obama as his running mate.
"Starting with the fact she hates politics, period. She loves the life that she's got," he argued.
