The idea of Meghan Markle setting foot in the Oval Office is gaining traction with the sister of President Biden.
Valerie Biden Owens, a seasoned political strategist, has reportedly endorsed the Duchess of Sussex as a potential candidate for the White House.
The 41-year-old former “Suits” actress has been the subject of persistent rumors about her interest in politics, with unconfirmed reports suggesting her connections with prominent Democrats since stepping away from royal duties in 2020.
Her chances of making it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. seem to have a boost with Biden Owens expressing her enthusiasm for Markle’s venture into politics, even agreeing that she could be a strong presidential candidate in the future.
In a recent poll of Democrats, Markle emerged as the top choice among women they would vote for, tying with Vice President Kamala Harris and outperforming former First Lady Hillary Clinton. However, experts noted that this result highlights the perceived lack of strong contenders in the Democratic Party.
Biden Owens, who successfully managed her brother’s presidential campaign, believes that having more women in politics will strengthen the democratic system with diverse viewpoints. She welcomes Markle to join the Democratic Party, encouraging her to consider running for office.
Notably, Markle’s interest in politics follows a precedent set by actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan, who transitioned into political roles.
While Biden Owens seems convinced, it appears that persuading President Biden might be a different story. A recent request by Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, to use Air Force One for the Queen’s funeral was denied by the White House due to concerns about potential commotion caused by the estranged royals’ presence.
As the speculation continues, the possibility of Meghan Markle entering the political arena remains an intriguing topic. The world waits to see if the Duchess will take the leap into the world of politics as she continues to make headlines with her public engagements and philanthropic endeavors.
