People in this story

Newsweek, October 2024

Former first lady Michelle Obama hitting the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris could hugely help the Democratic nominee’s campaign for the White House, experts told Newsweek. On Saturday, she will appear with Harris at a get-out-the-vote event in Michigan, according to a senior Harris campaign official. Her husband, former President Barack Obama, has been campaigning in swing states and is set to appear alongside Harris at a Thursday event in Georgia. Further details about the events have not been disclosed.

Saturday’s event will be the former first lady’s first time on the campaign trail to support Harris and will coincide with the first day of early voting in Michigan. Michelle Obama will also headline an Atlanta rally on October 29 hosted by When We All Vote, a nonpartisan civic engagement group that she founded in 2018 “to change the culture around voting.”
