The Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama opened on Monday the democratic convention with a passionate accusation against Donald Trump, stating that “he is the wrong president” for the country and calling for a vote Joe Biden On November 3.
“Whenever we look to this White House for some leadership, comfort, or some semblance of stability, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy,” said the wife of the former President Barack Obama, in an unprecedented criticism of a sitting president.
“Trump is the wrong president for our country,” he emphasized in a video message.
Michelle Obama closed the first day of a conclave in virtual format installed until August 20 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a key state that Trump surprisingly won in 2016 with little head start.
In a United States that mourns more than 170,000 deaths from the coronavirus, hit by a historic economic recession and a wave of anger against racism, Trump had “more than enough time to show that he can do the job, but he clearly surpasses it” , said.
“It is what it is,” he said, using the same phrase of resignation as Trump when referring to the pandemic.
The Chicago attorney, who has inspired many with her best-selling autobiography “My Story,” made a fiery defense of the urgency of voting and “queuing all night if necessary.” The word “Voten” could be read on the gold chain around his neck.
“Joe is not perfect,” she said of Biden, her husband’s eight-year vice president. But “she knows what it takes to rescue an economy, deal with a pandemic, and lead our country. And listen. She will tell the truth and trust science ”, she assured.
Michelle Obama put all her popularity to seek to defeat Trump, who confirmed that he will formally accept the GOP nomination next week, “live, from the White House.”
