Michelle Obama Says U.S. Not Ready for Woman President

Michelle Obama Says U.S. Not Ready for Woman President

Michelle Obama recently said that America is not ready to elect a woman as president.

She explained that while she thinks candidates like Kamala Harris are ready, the country isn't quite there yet.

Michelle Obama believes that some men still aren't comfortable with the idea of a woman being in charge.

Because of this, she said she won't run for president herself because she doesn't want to waste her time.

She mentioned that other women who have run for president have also faced challenges.

Michelle Obama made these comments while in Brooklyn to talk about her new book.

The book explores fashion, identity, and the pressures women in public life face, including how they are judged on their appearance.

She feels the country still needs to change and grow to be ready for a female leader.
