Former First Lady Michelle Obama hit the campaign trail for Kamala Harris for the first time on Saturday where she called for a ‘grown up in the White House’ and blasted Donald Trump for lies, childish antics and moral decline before making an emotional appeal directly to men.
Her appearance comes as polls show the presidential race in a dead heat with just ten days to go before the election.
The former first lady questioned why Harris is being held to a higher standard and must prove she belongs.
WHAT SHE SAID
‘But for Trump we expect nothing at all, no understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals.’
She said too many people are willing to write off his ‘childish, mean-spirited antics.’
Obama accused the ex-president for ‘gross incompetence’ while people ask Harris to ‘dazzle’ at every turn.
‘I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do,’ she said.
SHE COMPARES TRUMP TO KAMALA
Obama also said Harris ‘dominated her opponent so thoroughly in the debate he was too scared to face her again.’
‘Why on earth is this race even close?’ the former first lady asked at another point as the crowd went wild.
Obama said she lays awake at night wonder ‘what in the world is going on?’
She said Harris has demonstrated she is ready but asked: ‘as a country, are we ready for this moment?’

The former first lady said she fears for the country and its children if people forget the stakes in the election.
She said if Trump becomes president, at some point ugliness will touch everyone’s lives.
SHE HAS SOME WORDS FOR MEN
Halfway through her speech, the former first lady took an extremely somber note when she pleaded for men not to leave women’s lives in the hands of politicians when it comes to reproductive health care with the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Obama went through graphic details of the dangers of being pregnant and childbirth as well as other health challenges women face. She explained the threats of infection and women potentially bleeding out.
