The former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, joined Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign at a rally in Michigan, urging women to stand up for their lives and their right to choose, and to vote for the Democrat. With an energetic feminist speech, Obama criticized the demand for a higher standard for Harris compared to Donald Trump. She emphasized that Harris has proven to be ready to be president and encouraged women to vote for themselves and their rights.
In her remarks, Michelle Obama also pointed out that men voting for Trump or a third-party candidate would harm their wives, sisters, and daughters. Additionally, she listed the failures of the Trump Administration, such as the poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the assault on the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.
This is not Michelle Obama's first political involvement, as she previously participated in the Democratic Convention last August. Her presence at the rally is crucial for the Democratic campaign in Michigan, a key state with 15 electoral votes and about 8.4 million registered voters. Michigan is one of the seven competitive states that will determine the outcome of the election.
Michelle Obama highlighted the importance of protecting women's reproductive rights and called for voting for Kamala Harris, who is committed to defending health and reproductive freedoms. In an emotional moment, she challenged women to keep their vote private, regardless of their partners' political opinions.
