Monica Crowley: Michelle Obama 'worst case scenario' in 2024
Former treasury official and host of 'The Monica Crowley Podcast' joins Jesse Watters to discuss the potential of a Michelle Obama presidential candidacy in 2024 on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'
Monica Crowley, former U.S. assistant secretary of the treasury for public affairs, gave her take on another Obama candidate in the 2024 presidential race on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Thursday.

She is very formidable. She remains very popular. She has the entire Obama machine behind her. She's immune to criticism.
