But, if they do, Staley has made it clear who she wants to visit, and it's not the current president.
Staley attended an event with former president Barack Obama earlier this week, posting on X that he was "the coolest man on earth."

"@BarackObama thank you for your inspiration and leadership still. Now please let us borrow @MichelleObama for just 4 short years! First Gentleman is a good look for you!," she posted.
Staley has supported Democrat policies and ideologies, including the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's and girls' sports.

When asked whether she thought "transgender women should be able to participate in women's college basketball," Staley responded, "Yes."
There have been many calls for Biden to drop out of the race since his poor performance at the June 27 debate in Atlanta. California governor Gavin Newsom has long been the favorite to potentially replace him, but Michelle Obama isn't too far behind the speculative candidates.
