Former First Lady Michelle Obama is set to take the stage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where she will deliver a highly anticipated speech on Tuesday.
Multiple sources have confirmed her participation, signaling a powerful moment as the party rallies behind Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Michelle Obama, a highly influential figure in the Democratic Party, will join a star-studded lineup of speakers, including her husband, former President Barack Obama, as they unite to support Harris.
The convention’s theme for the day is “A Bold Vision for America’s Future,” highlighting the party’s forward-looking agenda.
Earlier this year, Michelle Obama expressed her deep concerns about the possibility of former President Donald Trump regaining power, describing the prospect as “terrifying.”
She is widely remembered for her impactful speech at the 2016 convention, where her memorable line, “When they go low, we go high,” resonated with millions.
Her appearance at the convention is expected to energize the party base as it prepares for a challenging campaign season. Harris, who has seen a surge in recent polls, will be formally nominated alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Their campaign has gained traction as they focus on key issues such as health care, voting rights, and economic stability.
The convention will also feature speeches from other prominent Democratic leaders. President Joe Biden is scheduled to address delegates on Monday, followed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will speak the same night.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, hosting the event in his hometown, is also slated to deliver remarks on Monday.
On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton will take the stage ahead of Walz’s acceptance speech for the vice-presidential nomination.
The convention will culminate on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, when Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepts her nomination as the party’s candidate for president.
