Michelle Obama says presidential election is "too close" while encouraging people to vote
Michelle Obama said Saturday that the presidential election is “too close” and encouraged people to vote at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Right now, as you know this race is close. It’s too close for my liking. And I came out here to Michigan because I am someone who takes her own advice to heart,” Obama said at the rally in Kalamazoo.
She continued, “I know that if we want to help this country finally turn the page on the politics of hatred and division, we can’t just sit around and complain. No, we’ve got to do something.”
The event, promoting voter turnout in Michigan, marks the first time the former first lady has rallied with Harris as the vice president seeks to win the White House next month.
In an Instagram video posted earlier on Saturday, Obama said, “In this final stretch, we have to give it everything we’ve got. We need to vote like our lives depend on it and show up in numbers that cannot be denied.”
Obama, alongside her husband, former President Barack Obama, endorsed Harris in July amid a push for the vice president to succeed President Joe Biden after he ended his reelection bid. The former first lady also delivered a rousing and forceful endorsement of Harris in her speech during the second night of the Democratic National Convention.
