Is Michelle Obama not interested in throwing her hat into the ring in the 2024 US Presidential Election?

Keeping herself away from the chaos and mayhem into which the party has found itself after the June 27 presidential debate, the former first lady was seen enjoying herself at a party in Mallorca. According to 'New York Post', Michelle was spotted chilling, relaxing, sipping water and talking to ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt and other guests at a party at the villa of James Costos, former President Barack Obama’s onetime ambassador to Spain and Andorra.
