Michelle Obama powers Harris’s campaign in Michigan

Former first lady Michelle Obama rallied support for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in Michigan, delivering a powerful rebuke of Donald Trump and energising supporters with her call for integrity, compassion and visionary leadership. 

Michelle Obama challenged men to support her as women's lives would be at risk if Donald Trump returned to power. 

The rally in Kalamazoo was Obama's first appearance on Harris's campaign trail since she spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

Obama also threw light on the gaping gender divide between the candidates, with women powering Harris and men turning to Trump. Michigan is among the most critical states for Democrats. 

With just 10 days remaining for the US presidential election, both Harris and Trump intensified their campaigns, focusing on the swing states. 

Meanwhile, in Michigan--where Muslim and Arab American voters were not too keen to support Harris, Trump focused on attacking the Biden administration amid Israel's war in Gaza and Lebanon.
