Meghan Markle called on to run for president
<p dir="ltr">Meghan Markle would make a “great presidential candidate” according to US President Biden’s sister. </p>
<p dir="ltr">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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking to <em>Good Morning Britain</em>, Ms Owens was firm in her statement about Meghan Markle being a US President candidate. </p>
<p dir="ltr">"Yes, perhaps. Of course she will," she said on the show.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"We embrace all women and we welcome her to come in and join the Democratic party."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meghan has previously weighed in on the politics in America after she left her royal duties with husband Prince Harry. </p>
<p dir="ltr">She urged Americans to vote in the 2020 Election and also called for more paid parental leave. </p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fellow author Omid Scobie concurred saying: "Meghan is the embodiment of the American dream. One day we may see Meghan become president."</p>
<p dir="ltr">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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A legal expert has called it “controversial” but only time will tell what Meghan decides to do. </p>
