Michelle Obama now at 8% to be the next U.S. president. Up 4x this week

Media is not addressing this at all. If she ends up running and markets get it first, will open some people’s eyes to prediction markets

any theories on why people are even betting on this?

Will be interesting to see play out.

Consensus is that she’s not in play and there’s been no official indication of anything. But some believe there’s no way the Democrats trot out Biden and she’s the inevitable candidate. 

Feels like it could be an eye opening moment for markets if she ends up the candidate.

I've seen Michelle in betting markets since 2016, so it can't just be a 2020 phenomenon. I've never understood it, initially thought it was MM needing more possibilities
