At a rally in Norristown, Pennsylvania, Michelle Obama delivered a powerful warning about the risks of Donald Trump returning to office. Speaking on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, the former First Lady described Trump as a “con man” and expressed concerns about the direction the country could take under his leadership.
“If this election goes the wrong way, this backward vision of America being spewed by Kamala’s opponent will infect all of our lives, no matter how old we are,” Obama cautioned on November 1. She outlined the potential consequences, saying, “It will happen quickly, in concrete ways — from dismantling the Department of Education to gutting the women’s health system, prioritizing those at the top over everyone else,” as reported by CNN.
Reflecting on her husband Barack Obama’s presidency, Michelle spoke of the “fundamental goodness” she witnessed across the nation, emphasizing the unity and shared values of that time. She said, “Even with our differences, there was something true that always felt present.”
The former First Lady also alluded to divisive narratives in this election, referring to unnamed voices who have dismissed military service, calling it “for suckers.” This comes in light of previous reports that Trump disparaged U.S. troops while in office.
Michelle continued her critique, describing Trump, without naming him, as “a more skilled con man who is more brazen and bombastic.” In a solemn moment, she stressed the stakes of the election: “You can spend a lifetime building something brick by brick, but one big wave, one gust of wind, and all your efforts can be swept away.”
Joining her at the rally were Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who was once considered as Harris’s running mate, and singer Alicia Keys, highlighting the urgency of the upcoming election for the future of the nation.
