Michelle Obama Blasts Trump, Harris Poised For SNL Appearance In Crucial Pennsylvania Rally
Former First Lady Michelle Obama took aim at President Donald Trump in a blistering speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, calling him "the wrong president for our country" and urging voters to "kick him out of office."
Obama's speech was one of the most powerful of the night, and it was met with thunderous applause from the virtual audience. She spoke about the importance of voting, and she urged Americans to make their voices heard in November.
"We've got to vote like our lives depend on it," Obama said. "Because they do."
Obama also took aim at Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that he "has failed to protect this nation." She also criticized his policies on climate change, healthcare, and immigration.
"He has shown us who he is," Obama said. "He is a bully. He is a divider. He is not fit to be president."
Obama's speech was a clear signal that the Democratic Party is unified in its opposition to Trump. It also set the stage for the party's vice presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, who is set to appear on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.
Harris is expected to use her appearance on "SNL" to reach out to a wider audience and to make her case for why she and Joe Biden should be elected in November.
The Pennsylvania rally is a crucial event for both candidates, as the state is a key battleground in the upcoming election. Trump won Pennsylvania by a slim margin in 2016, and both Biden and Harris are hoping to flip the state back to blue.
The rally will be held in Philadelphia, and it is expected to draw a large crowd. Biden and Harris will both speak at the event, and they will be joined by other Democratic leaders.
The Pennsylvania rally is one of the final major events before the election, and it is sure to be a closely watched event by both parties. The outcome of the election will likely hinge on the results in Pennsylvania, and both Biden and Harris are hoping to make a strong impression on voters in the Keystone State.
