While speaking in a farewell interview with Oprah Winfrey at the
White House which aired on Monday night, First Lady of the United States
of America, Michelle Obama, said watching the presidential election
this year was “painful.”
“You know, this—this past election was challenging for me as a—as a citizen. To watch and experience. It was painful,” Obama said during the interview.
She previously told People that she went to sleep before hearing
the results of the election that ended with Donald Trump defeating
Hillary Clinton, for whom Obama had campaigned heavily.
“You kind of saw the tea leaves,” Obama told Winfrey. “I kind of felt like how things were going by the time I went to bed.”
“So mentally, I’d already kind of digested it before I actually read it,” she added.
