She was popular because she was inoffensive and apolitical as First Lady. But if she ran, it's a very different story. She would have to stake out clear-cut policies and work with the existing Democratic party, who are unpopular enough as it is. And while she maintained an excellent facade as First Lady, she did have moments pre and post White House with decidedly controversial opinions. Once she declared a candidacy, she would be as divisive as any politician. The Republicans would easily frame her as an anointed Hillary II rather than someone accomplished on her own merits.
Even then, Hilary held her own elected office and cabinet post before running for the top job.
She's the closest you'll get to a moderate democrat as you'll get. The only D that could possibly reach across the isle.

You're right; I usually vote Dem, but I also am concerned about the lack of viable candidates. Hillary is over, Sanders is ancient. That's why I brought up running Romney as a Democrat. The party is out of decent candidates.
Governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Roy Cooper of North Carolina are good options, but need a bit more national name recognition.

I live in NC, Roy Cooper is a waste of oxygen! Not a good option in my opinion...pretty much milk toast!
If Biden doesn't run, then the primary election earlier in 2024 will become hugely significant.
Who will be in it? And who will win, to go on to the Nov 2024 election? And why?
At this point, can you even imagine stepping into the voting booth on Nov. 5, 2024, and finding Joe Biden's name as the only Democrat candidate for President?
you really care - its 30 months away for good sake -and there alot more to be concerned about
I guess people have forgotten that Michelle said that she had never been proud of her country until her husband was nominated for the presidency?
Michelle also botched the Obamacare web site, costing taxpayers $200M whe she outsourced it to her college pal in Canada? After the web site failed to launch, she did return $30M of the $200M, so there's that
...AND healthy school lunches...that caused schools to add extra dumpters to handle all the food the students wouldn't eat? Our High school had to add TWO new dumpsters.
Remember when she took 100+ pals to Paris for a shopping trip and rented the entire floor of hotels there costing taxpayers Millions?
