Michelle Obama Announces Decision On Running For Senate, You Wont Believe It It is no secret that Michelle Obama has been pushing her own agenda ever since Obama first got into the White House. Her actions have spurred many to question whether she may be campaigning for a bigger role, like perhaps the senate. Recently, however, she told reporters that she is in fact not running for Senate. When Robin Roberts of ABC News asked Michelle whether she had any intention of running for the position later on, the First Lady answered that she is more focused on service than running. In addition to pushing extreme eating habits in schools, Michelle has been an adamant fund raiser for the administration. In fact, some of her appearances at these events are what initially led people to believe that Michelle had an interest in holding a position of power herself. Now, it appears as though Michelle may just plan on supporting Hillary Clinton.
