Michelle Says She Wants Barack To Step Back, Let New Leaders Rise

Former First Lady Michelle Obama says she would prefer a quieter life for her family and appears ready for the Democratic Party to embrace a new generation of leaders rather than continue relying on her husband, former President Barack Obama.

The comments came during the Obamas’ first joint interview since leaving the White House in 2017 as they discussed the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
