The question before us should not be who can replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for the US Presidential race in 2024. The question should be which Democratic nominee is capable of stopping Donald Trump from coming into power again; and only for some good reasons.
I try to avoid discussing politics as much as possible, and do so only when it feels absolutely necessary. However, on the eve of the 248th anniversary of America’s independence, I want to say a few words about the current political crisis in the Democratic Party as a citizen of the United States.

Kamala Harris was not given the opportunity to shine and prove herself as an asset to the Democratic Party during her four years as Vice President, and now it’s too late for the invocation of the goddess.
I do not want to be biased toward Kamala Harris in choosing her as a replacement for President Joe Biden because she is the Vice President and half-Indian. Kamala Harris was not given the opportunity to shine and prove herself as an asset to the Democratic Party during her four years as Vice President, and now it’s too late for the invocation of the goddess. Other Democratic candidates who could be a possible replacement for President Joe Biden do not have what it will take to defeat Donald Trump.
The only person who can perform this miracle now is former First Lady Michelle Obama.
So, what options do we have? The only person who can perform this miracle now is former First Lady Michelle Obama. It may be challenging to persuade her to accept this role, but President Barack Obama and Joe Biden himself, along with fellow Democrats, can make that happen. I will thank Joe Biden for his grace in stepping down as the presidential candidate in the interest of his party and country. I admire him for his service, tenacity, dedication, and for giving his best during his tenures as President and Vice President, with the profound awareness that at some point we all are challenged and humbled by age. If the former First Lady, Michelle Obama by any chance is reading my words, I beg her to come forward to rescue her party and run for the office of the President of the United States with Kamala Harris as her Vice President.
Michelle Obama’s critics may argue that she never held a political office before, but what political office did Donald Trump hold before becoming the President of the United States? Michelle Obama has beautifully fulfilled her role as First Lady, standing by her husband, President Obama. She undoubtedly gained exposure to national and international politics, understood their dynamics, and championed several causes related to women, children, veterans, girls’ education, youth empowerment, and global education.
Michelle Obama is not only well-qualified to become the President of the United States, but she also has the poise and grace, popularity and confidence, charisma and unbiased worldview to become a world leader who can truly make a difference at a time when nations are ravaged by wars, ideological differences are widening, humanitarian crises are rising, and climate threats are at our doorstep.
We need an avatar of Durga and Kali, combined, in the White House to defend our rights, heal and prosper our nation, and save the world.
Happy 4th to all Americans!
Happy Heavenly Marriage Anniversary to my parents in paradise!
