US election: Trump’s criminal track record and amoral character would be embarrassing, shameful and disqualifying in any other arena, says former first lady
Michelle Obama accuses Trump of ‘gross incompetence’ at Michigan rally for HarrisKnock-on effect: English ex-pat follows mother’s example with door-to-door campaign for Democrats
When Ms Obama finished, Beyoncé's Freedom thundered from the loudspeakers and Ms Harris emerged on stage. The predominantly female audience erupted as the women embraced. Before the event, Ms Harris visited a local doctor’s office in nearby Portage, where she spoke to healthcare providers and medical students about the impact of abortion restrictions. She has made protecting “reproductive freedom” and what remains of abortion access a major theme of her campaign, using it to draw a sharp contrast with Mr Trump, who has claimed credit for his role in overturning Roe v Wade but insisted he would allow a nationwide ban as president.
Ms Obama’s appeal reflected the gaping gender divide between the candidates, with women powering Ms Harris and men turning to Mr Trump. She acknowledged the challenges facing the country, and conceded that progress could be too slow, but she argued that sitting out or voting third-party was not the answer.While Barack Obama is known as his party’s great orator, Michelle Obama remains one of its most popular albeit reluctant speakers.
