Michelle Obama has reignited a national debate over America's readiness for a female president, saying the country is still "not ready" to elect a woman to the Oval Office. Speaking at a Brooklyn event for her new book The Look, Obama dismissed renewed speculation about a future bid, insisting she has no intention of running. Her remarks come in the wake of Kamala Harris' defeat in the 2024 election and continue a long conversation shaped by Hillary Clinton's earlier losses. Together, their experiences highlight the persistent barriers facing women in the world's oldest democracy. The discussion now centres on a pressing question: when will America finally elect its first female president?
