Michelle Obama fears “what might happen” in the 2024 presidential election, she said during an interview published Monday.
The former first lady admitted her fear in response to a question from host Jay Shetty during an episode of his podcast.
“What’s keeping you up at night now or what’s your biggest fear right now after overcoming so much?” Shetty asked Obama.
“It has less to do with me personally and more to do with the world we have,” he replied.
He explained the anxiety that comes along with being in the White House.
“There’s such a thing as knowing too much and when you’re married to the president of the United States who knows everything about everything in the world — sometimes you just want to turn it off,” said Obama, 59. “What keeps me going is things I know.”

The lawyer and author named some of the specific concerns he has including ongoing warfare, the potential impact of AI on humans and climate change.
He also said he was worried about people voting and wondering why they didn’t vote.
“Those are the things that keep me going because you have no control over it and you wonder where we are in this situation, where are our hearts? What will happen in this upcoming election?” Obama said in a podcast.
“I’m afraid of what might happen because our leaders are important, who we elect, who speaks for us, who holds the bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I think sometimes people take for granted,” he continued.

The Harvard law graduate and mother of two said that many people don’t realize how much the government does for its people.
“We cannot take this democracy for granted and sometimes I worry that we do,” Obama said. “That’s what keeps me going.”
