Michelle's office said 'she will not be running for president.'

Crystal Carson, the director of communications for Michelle's office, issued a state regarding chatter from the left and right about the former first lady announcing a last-minute presidential campaign.

Sources close to the conversation confirmed Michelle intends to support the Biden campaign ahead of November's election.

While Michelle endorses Biden's re-election campaign, she's likely to take a similar approach to her level of engagement as she did in 2020, especially compared to her husband. This is said to be a reflection of her "other commitments" as well "a longstanding reluctance" to dive back into politics full-time.

Despite Michelle's limited engagement with the campaign, insiders said the president will likely "maximize" her support as much as possible.

A senior Biden adviser reportedly confirmed there have been early talks with Obama's team about "campaign engagements."

Michelle's nonpartisan voter registration group, When We All Vote, would be especially beneficial to the Biden campaign, as it aims to "increase participation in each and every election by helping to close the race and age gap."
