Blunt and Emotional Appeal
Michelle Obama
outlines dire
election stakes
(AP) — At the 2016 Democrat-
ic National Convention, former
first lady Michelle Obama told
party members that “when they
go low, we go high.” After four
years of President Donald Trump,
she came back to give it to them
straight.
“If you think things cannot pos-
sibly get worse, trust me they can;
and they will, if we don’t make
a change in this election,” Mrs.
Obama told her party in a blunt
and emotional appeal that capped
the first night of the Democrats’
convention.

dire stakes for the election ahead,
declaring President Donald Trump
“in over his head” and the “wrong
president for our country.” Warn-
ing of possible voter suppression,
she told Americans they must vote
for Joe Biden “in numbers that
cannot be ignored” if they want to
preserve the “most basic require-
ments for a functioning society.”
