KALAMAZOO, MI — Former first lady Michelle Obama made her debut on the campaign trail on Saturday in fiery remarks that asked voters not just in Michigan but across the country: Why is Kamala Harris being held to a double standard?
It’s a conversation that’s crept up across cable networks and pundit panels as the race between Harris and former President Donald Trump has remained in a deadlock. Obama, who is upfront about her hate for the political process as the first Black first lady in U.S. history, said she was beckoned back on the trail because of her frustration and fear.
“This race is close. It’s too close for my liking,” she said, at one point in her remarks, saying Trump was in “obvious mental decline.”
