During a Harris rally in Michigan on Saturday, the former first lady described the assault on abortion rights as the harbinger of dangerous limitations on healthcare for women
Michelle Obama has challenged men to support Kamala Harris ’s bid to be America’s first female president, warning that women’s lives will be at risk if Donald Trump returns to the White House.
The rally in Kalamazoo was Mrs Obama’s first appearance on the campaign trail since she spoke at the Democratic National Convention over the summer, and her remarks were searing and passionate in their support of Ms Harris. “By every measure, she has demonstrated that she’s ready,” the former first lady said. “The real question is, as a country, are we ready for this moment? Do not buy into the lies that we do not know who Kamala is or what she stands for.
“I am asking y’all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously,” Mrs Obama pleaded. Ms Harris took the stage afterwards and promised the crowd that she would keep their interests in mind - unlike Mr Trump, who she accused of only being interested in himself. Mr Trump brushed off her rival’s attempt to harness star power for her campaign. "Kamala is at a dance party with Beyonce,” the former president said on Friday in Traverse City, Michigan. He held a rally in Novi, a suburb of Detroit, on Saturday before a later event in State College, Pennsylvania.
