Michelle Obama reveals the danger of a second Trump term
“If this election goes the wrong way, this, this backward vision of America being spewed by Kamala’s opponent,” Michelle warned the people in her address on November 1, “it will infect all of our lives no matter how old we are.”
She expressed her concern for the country and said, “And if we fail, it will happen quickly, in concrete ways — large and small — from dismantling the Department of Education to gutting the women’s health system to prioritizing those at the top over everybody else,” as reported by CNN.
She also reminisced about the “fundamental goodness” of the time when her husband, Barack Obama was the president of the US. Michelle said, “Looking back, what stands out most, than anything during that time, is the fundamental goodness we encountered, folks everywhere we went.” She added, “It always felt as though even with our differences, something true.”

Earlier, it was reported that the former president called the US troops “losers” and “suckers” while in office.
She further described Trump, again without taking his name, as “a more skilled con man who is more brazen and bombastic.”

Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, who was being considered as Harris's running mate, and singer Alicia Keys joined the former First Lady at the rally.
