Former First Lady Michelle Obama emphasized the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential election during a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. Obama expressed concern over the close race, stating that it is 'too close for my liking' and urged attendees to take action.
During the event, which aimed to promote voter turnout in Michigan, Obama highlighted the need to move past the politics of hatred and division. She emphasized the power of individual action, stating, 'We can't just sit around and complain. No, we've got to do something.'
In an Instagram video shared earlier on the same day, Obama called on voters to give their all in the final stretch of the election. She stressed the importance of voting in large numbers to make a significant impact.
Obama's support for Harris dates back to July when she, along with her husband, former President Barack Obama, endorsed the vice president. The former first lady delivered a strong endorsement of Harris during the Democratic National Convention, further solidifying her support.
The rally in Michigan marked the first time Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris appeared together on the campaign trail. Their joint efforts underscore the significance of voter turnout and the need for active participation in shaping the country's future.
