Michelle Obama can rally a young generation
Young people do not like Joe Biden – they prefer Bernie Sanders. But that has not worried the former vice-president very much because America’s future has not turned out in droves for Sanders during the primaries.
The presidential election is a different ball game. When November comes, Biden cannot afford the bad luck he has with a generation who are not inspired by him or do not share his politics or simply do not think he is “cool”.
It is hard to imagine that problem for Michelle Obama. She is a passionate speaker, a “hip mum” and more ideologically connected to a progressive culture that will soon overwhelm America.
