Michelle Obama, Frustrated with Biden Family, Is Notably Absent From President’s Campaign Trail – Washington Free Beacon

Michelle Obama is noticeably absent from President Joe Bidens reelection campaign. In private conversations, the former first lady expresses frustration over the Biden familys exile of her close friend and Hunter Bidens ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, Axios reports.

Although her husband, former president Barack Obama, has supported President Bidens reelection bid on X, at fundraisers, and in campaign videos this year, Michelle Obama, a popular Democratic voice, has distanced herself from the campaign.

After Buhles divorce from Hunter Biden in 2017, Michellewho became close friends with Buhle during her husbands presidencyprivately told others that she felt the Biden family had wronged Buhle, anonymous sources close to the situation told Axios.

Buhle battled through Hunter's drug use and infidelity during their marriage. In the first son's recent trial, Hunters ex-girlfriendand brother Beau Bidens widowHallie Biden testified that her romantic relationship with Hunter began in late 2015 and early 2016when Buhle had said she and Hunter were not living together but still working on their marriage.

Although Barack Obama has been influential throughout Bidens presidency and reelection bid, the Obama-Biden relationship has been growing tense since 2015.

That year, then-vice president Biden was weighing a presidential run, and President Obama discouraged it, putting his support behind Hillary Clinton instead. It also was the year Biden's son Beau died of cancer, beginning years of unrest for the Biden family, including Hunter and Buhle's divorce, according to Axios.

Michelle has not entirely cut the Bidens out of her circle. Jill Biden "graciously" joined a memorial service for Michelle's mother on Monday, a source told Axios.

A spokesperson for Michelle Obama told Axios the former first lady supports Biden's reelection. "She is friends with Kathleen and with the Bidens. Two things can be true."
