Michelle Obama moves up Harris campaign debut to stump in Michigan next week

By and 10/18/2024 | updated 12 months ago

Former first lady Michelle Obama‘s calendar is filling up with campaign events for Vice President Kamala Harris as she prepares to make her campaign debut next week in Michigan.

While former President Barack Obama has become increasingly involved in the Harris campaign, the former first lady has been conspicuously absent. The Harris campaign announced that this will change on Saturday, Oct. 26, when she is set to appear alongside Harris in Michigan.

The move will be her first political appearance since she gave a speech at the August Democratic National Convention.

Her husband is set to increase his campaigning for Harris as well, and he is scheduled for solo events in Tucson, Las Vegas, Detroit, and Madison. He will appear alongside Harris in Georgia on Thursday.

After the Michigan rally, Michelle Obama will appear at an Atlanta rally hosted by When We All Vote, a group dedicated to voter turnout that she founded in 2018.

A recent NBC News report alleged that Michelle Obama’s absence from the campaign trail has been over concerns about her safety.

“After the two assassination attempts against former President Trump, the staffs of all the former presidents and first ladies recognized the new reality, and so does the Secret Service,” a person familiar with the matter said.

The 2024 campaign cycle has seen two assassination attempts, both against former President Donald Trump.
