Biden\u2019s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, wants Meghan Markle to pursue her rumored political ambitions all the way to the White House, suggesting that the former \u201cSuits\u201d star would make a good presidential candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with \u201cGood Morning Britain\u201d Tuesday<\/a>, Biden Owens, 76, extended an invitation to Markle to join the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to have women in politics,\u201d the 46th US president\u2019s younger sister opined, according to Newsweek. \u201cThe more women we have, the better our democratic system will work, with a better point of view, a different point of view and we embrace all women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe welcome [Meghan] to come in and join the Democratic Party,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if the Duchess of Sussex would \u201cmake a good presidential candidate one day,\u201d Biden Owens replied: \u201cYes, perhaps. Of course she will.\u201d Markle, 40, and her husband, Prince Harry, 37<\/a>, have been living in the US full-time with their children, Archie and Lilibet,\u00a0since the couple stepped back<\/a>\u00a0from their roles as senior members of the British royal family in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unconfirmed reports that Markle has been forging connections with top Democrats with an eye on a possible career in politics have long circulated, although there is no solid evidence that she is interested in running for an elected office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2021, investigative journalist Tom Bower, who is writing a forthcoming unauthorized biography of Markle, said he believes it is \u201clikely\u201d the former actress will try her hand at politics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe prospect of Meghan running for president is possible and I\u2019d even say likely,\u201d Bower told Closer magazine, as DailyMail.com reported at the time.<\/a> \u201cI really believe it\u2019s where she sees herself going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the run-up to the 2020 election between President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden<\/a>, Markle and her husband were accused by conservatives of interfering in the election by encouraging Americans to register to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking in a video for Time 100, the famous couple also warned Americans about the spread of misinformation and condemned hate speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to these remarks, Trump said he was \u201cnot a fan\u201d of Markle, and quipped that he wished \u201ca lot of luck to Harry because he\u2019s going to need it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last fall, Markle was again dinged for sending a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that advocated for paid parental leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not an elected official, and I\u2019m not a politician,\u201d Markle opened her letter, addressed from The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. \u201cI am, like many, an engaged citizen and a parent.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Owens, a veteran political strategist and campaign manager for her brother, appeared on the British morning talk show Tuesday to promote her new memoir, \u201cGrowing Up Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
