At a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan on Saturday, former first lady Michelle Obama urged men to support Kamala Harris' bid to become America's first female president. She warned that women's lives would be at risk if Donald Trump was re-elected to the White House. Obama passionately described the assault on abortion rights as a dangerous threat to women's healthcare. She acknowledged that some men may be angry about the slow pace of progress, but she reminded them that their rage does not exist in a vacuum.
"If we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother - we as women will become collateral damage to your rage," Obama stated, addressing the men in the audience. She asked them to consider the impact of their vote on the women and children they love. "Are you prepared to look into their eyes and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?" she questioned.
This rally marked Obama's first appearance on the campaign trail since her powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention over the summer. Her support for Harris was evident as she praised the senator's readiness to lead the country. "By every measure, she has demonstrated that she's ready," Obama stated. She also urged the country to ask themselves if they were ready for this historic moment.
Obama addressed the lies and misinformation surrounding Harris, reminding everyone that she is a strong and capable candidate who understands and represents all Americans. Her speech was personal and emotional as she talked about the struggles women face in understanding and caring for their own bodies. She pleaded with the audience to take their lives seriously and make the right choice in this election.
After Obama's powerful speech, Harris took the stage and promised to fight for the interests of the people, unlike Trump who she accused of only being interested in himself. "There is a yearning in our country for a president who sees the people, who gets you, and who will fight for you," Harris said.
Before arriving in Kalamazoo, Harris visited a local doctor's office in Portage to discuss the impact of abortion restrictions with healthcare providers and medical students. She listened to their concerns about the current state of healthcare in America and promised to work towards improving it. Harris also made stops in Houston and Atlanta, campaigning with influential figures like Beyoncé, former President Barack Obama, and Bruce Springsteen.
Meanwhile, Trump held rallies in Novi, Michigan and State College, Pennsylvania. He brushed off Harris' attempts to use celebrity endorsements for her campaign, stating that she was at a "dance party with Beyoncé." However, with early in-person voting now available in Michigan, more than 1.4 million ballots have already been submitted, representing 20% of registered voters.
While Clinton's campaign in 2016 was marked by Michelle Obama's iconic slogan, "when they go low, we go high," this year, the former first lady has adopted a more direct approach. At the Democratic National Convention, she called out Trump for his lies and lack of real solutions. Similarly, Biden also criticized Trump for his attitude towards unions and women.
Speaking to a mostly male audience in Pittsburgh, Biden stated, "I'm just gonna say straight up, he's a loser as a man." He also emphasized the importance of giving women more opportunities. "They can do anything any man can do, including being president of the United States of America," he said. As the race for the White House continues, the gender divide remains a significant factor, with both sides working to appeal to women voters.
