Meghan Markle called on to run for president

Meghan Markle would make a “great presidential candidate” according to US President Biden’s sister. 

Valerie Biden Owens, who works as President Biden’s campaign manager, has called on the Duchess of Sussex to join the Democratic Party saying she would be welcomed with open arms. 

Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Ms Owens was firm in her statement about Meghan Markle being a US President candidate. 

"Yes, perhaps. Of course she will," she said on the show.

"It's wonderful to have women in politics. The more women we have, the better our democratic system will work. A better point of view, a different point of view.

"We embrace all women and we welcome her to come in and join the Democratic party."

Meghan has previously weighed in on the politics in America after she left her royal duties with husband Prince Harry. 

She urged Americans to vote in the 2020 Election and also called for more paid parental leave. 

Author Tom Bower is writing a biography about the Duchess and previously said that it is “possible” and “likely” that she would run for president.

"The prospect of Meghan running for president is possible and I'd even say likely. I really believe it's where she sees herself going,” he told Closer Magazine.

Fellow author Omid Scobie concurred saying: "Meghan is the embodiment of the American dream. One day we may see Meghan become president."

Back in 2020, an anonymous friend told Vanity Fair that Meghan refused to give up her American citizenship in order to have the option to get into politics. 

As per the British Royal Family, all members are required to remain neutral which Meghan has not - pointing out that she has already met with senators to lobby a bill.

A legal expert has called it “controversial” but only time will tell what Meghan decides to do.
