Michelle Obama has claimed that the United States is not ready for a woman president. The former first lady's remark comes after the unsuccessful presidential bids from former Vice President Kamala Harris and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Speaking at an event, Obama added that not enough room has been created for the chances of a woman president.
