Joe Biden's approval rating has dropped to a record low, ranking at just 38 per cent

Nigel Farage believes former First Lady Michelle Obama could replace US President Joe Biden as Democrat candidate for the US election as the American leader's approval ratings drop to a record low.

Despite being projected to win the next round of primary ballots in Nevada with almost 90 per cent of the vote, Biden's approval ratings have dropped to below 40 per cent.


Following a series of public gaffes in recent weeks, the US President is currently sitting at just 38 per cent, a record low since he took office in 2021.

The 81-year-old leader of the United States has hit back at repeated claims that his cognitive ability is waning, telling reporters on Thursday that he is the "most qualified person in this country" to be president and vowed to "finish the job I started".

Biden grew angry with the media's line of questioning as he told them "my memory is fine, I know what the hell I’m doing".

As doubts grow over Biden's ability to run another term, reports have emerged of a potential replacement for the President - someone who has been in The White House before.

Sources claim former First Lady Michelle Obama's team have "polled donors" via a survey for their thoughts of her as a Democratic candidate.

Reports also claim that the move has been orchestrated by her husband Barack, who was US President from 2009 to 2017.

Discussing the claims, GB News presenter Nigel Farage says Obama's name has been "constantly rumoured" in discussions about the election. He added that Biden will struggle to make it to November as the Democrat's prime candidate, claiming he is "senile".

Nigel also highlighted that if the Democrats were to snub Joe Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom is also a top pick for the job.

Nigel told GB News hosts Anne Diamond and Stephen Dixon: "The real outsider that keeps being talked about, whether we take this seriously or not, but Michelle Obama's name keeps being raised."

He questioned the motives of both Barack and Michelle returning to politics after seven years, asking "why the hell would you want to give it all up?"

Nigel stated: "I would have thought that after all those years in the White House and living under that pressure, and given that Barack is now like the David Attenborough of America, doing wildlife programmes that are incredibly popular - why give it up?

"But she is the one that's constantly being rumoured."

Stephen reacted to the claims, highlighting: "She always said she wouldn't though, but you never know!"

Anne Diamond added: "Why would you accept again being put under so much pressure to run?"
