Michelle Obama AWOL on campaign trail

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has not been vocal about her support for President Joe Biden’s reelection in recent months and sources close to her say it stems from "frustration" over the Biden family's treatment of Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, sources told Axios.

Buhle and Hunter Biden announced they were separating in July 2015 amid reports over the latter's drug addiction and apparent infidelity.
