‘Take our lives seriously,’ Michelle Obama pleads at rally for Kamala Harris in Michigan

“Kamala is at a dance party with Beyoncé,” the former president said Friday in Traverse City, Michigan. Trump held a rally in Novi, a suburb of Detroit, on Saturday before a later event in State College, Pennsylvania.

Saturday was the first day early in-person voting became available in Michigan. More than 1.4 million ballots have already been cast, representing 20% ​​of registered voters.

When Clinton ran against Trump, Michelle Obama inspired Democrats with the slogan “when they go low, we go high.”

But this year at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, she took a more strident approach. She accused Trump of “doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies instead of real ideas and solutions that will actually improve people’s lives.”

While Harris was with Obama in Michigan, President Joe Biden visited the Laborers International of North America in Pittsburgh. He recalled that Harris once picketed with the United Auto Workers — “she’s got a bone like a ramrod” — while Trump undermines organized labor.

“He believes that unions prevent the accumulation of wealth for individuals,” Biden said. “Beating Donald Trump is more pro-union than any other race you’ve been in.”
