Michelle Obama Wanted To ‘Ignore' Barack Obama Divorce Rumors, ‘Source' Claims
Michelle Obama's instinct to tackle rumors was different from husband, 'source' claims
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have finally put an end to their ongoing divorce rumors. The couple talked about the news of their marriage trouble in her 'IMO' podcast. Although the former First Lady wanted to 'ignore' the rumors, as per the source, it was her husband who was eager to initiate the discussion.
'Barack thought it was time to shut it down, with a wink,' a source told Rob Shutter. The insider further revealed that 'Michelle's instinct was to ignore it,' but 'Barack wanted to joke — and guess who won?'
The insider was referring to Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson's July 14 episode of the podcast. There she had welcomed a 'very special' guest, Barack Obama, the former U.S president, to the show. Looking at the warm welcome, Robinson joked about the couple saying, 'Wait, you guys like each other?.' The attorney immediately replied to the rhetorical question, saying, 'That's the rumor mill,' before proudly admitting, 'It's my husband, y'all.'
Even Barack Obama joined the conversation and joked, 'She took me back. It was touch and go for a while.' The mom of two then warned her husband not to 'start,' but there was no holding back the former US President.
Addressing the divorce rumors, Michelle Obama quipped during the podcast that when 'we aren't [together], folks think we're divorced.' To illustrate how serious their divorce rumour got, Robinson shared an encounter story with a stranger who questioned him, 'What did he do?.'
Barack Obama quickly chimed in, revealing he was unaware that 'this stuff's going on,' until someone mentioned it to him. The news of their marriage trouble started spiralling earlier this year when the former US President attended several high-profile events without his wife. However, putting all rumors to rest, Michelle Obama said in the podcast, 'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I've thought about quitting my man.'

Tony Evers Declines to Run for 3rd Term as Wisconsin Governor
Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin, who led his state through a period of Democratic resurgence, will not seek a third term next year, he announced on Thursday. A battleground-state governor who has never displayed ambitions for higher office, Mr. Evers, 73, presided over the end of Republican dominance of his state and will leave office as his Democratic Party has a chance to win a governing trifecta for the first time in 16 years. 'I'm announcing that I will not be running for a third term,' Mr. Evers said in a video posted to social media. Mr. Evers's political legacy in Wisconsin will be more about measures he blocked than about signature progressive accomplishments. He vetoed hundreds of bills passed by the state's Republican-controlled Legislature, including a package that would have restricted voting access after the 2020 election. During the 2021-2022 legislative session, as he was running for re-election, Mr. Evers vetoed 32 percent of the bills Republicans had passed, a figure about 10 times above what is typical, according to the state's nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau. While Mr. Evers held Republican state legislators at bay, his party won three critical State Supreme Court races that flipped the court's balance of power from the conservatives to the liberals.
