Michelle Obama Among Presidential Spouses to Speak at Democratic Convention
The former first lady is slated to address the DNC on Tuesday evening.
Consistently ranking as one of the most popular figures in American politics, former First Lady Michelle Obama will speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, her hometown, on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Obama is expected to speak on the same evening her husband, former President Barack Obama is scheduled to take the stage, sources told NBC News first.
At the 2016 Democratic National Convention, the country heard Michelle Obama coin the Obama presidency phrase: “When they go low, we go high.”
In 2020, after four years of President Donald Trump, her tone was less hopeful.
“If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me they can; and they will, if we don’t make a change in this election,” the former first lady bluntly told Democrats on the first night of the convention four years ago.
