Basketball icon Dawn Staley asked former President Obama earlier this week if the nation could “borrow” former first lady Michelle Obama.
“Now please let us borrow @MichelleObama for just 4 short years! First Gentleman is a good look for you,” the South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball head coach said Wednesday in a post to social platform X.
Staley ran into the former president during the USA Basketball 50th anniversary reception in Las Vegas this week. Staley played eight seasons in the WNBA and has won multiple Olympic Gold medals.
The remarks saw Staley join a growing number of U.S. voters who want to see Michelle Obama at the top of the Democratic ballot, according to a recent poll that found the former first lady would be the only Democrat to beat former President Trump in a hypothetical match-up.
