Michelle Obama To Headline Michigan Rally On First Day Of In-Person Voting
HuffPost
It will be one of two events for the former first lady, who hasn't been part of the campaign since her blockbuster convention speech.
Vice President Kamala Harris is spending Friday and part of Saturday campaigning across Michigan, but she’ll be back a week later with what might be her party’s biggest star: Michelle Obama.
The author, attorney and former first lady announced on Friday morning that she will be joining Harris in Detroit for a get-out-the-vote rally on Saturday, Oct. 26.
The Detroit rally will be the first of at least two pro-Harris events featuring Obama, who announced earlier this week she’ll be joining Harris in Atlanta on Tuesday, Oct. 29. It will also be Obama’s first public campaign appearance since her August Democratic convention speech, which drew widespread praise.
“Michigan! I’ll be joining @KamalaHarris for a rally on October 26 – and I hope you’ll tune in!” Obama posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “It’s up to all of us to do all we can from now until Election Day to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Every single vote counts, and there’s no time to waste! #DoSomething.”
Obama will be in Detroit less than a week after her husband, former President Barack Obama, will be in the city to headline an event of his own.
