Michelle Obama spoke in Kalamazoo, Michigan, alongside Kamala Harris, sparking a cheering audience. The former First Lady addressed men who are hesitant to vote for the vice president, urging them to think about which side of history they want to support. She said that a vote for Donald Trump is a vote against women’s rights. Michelle highlighted a double standard with Harris, stressing that she is expected to be intelligent and eloquent, with clear policies and emotional reserve. In contrast, nothing positive is expected of Trump: she called him an “incompetent liar” who lacks political and moral skills. “We need an adult in the White House,” she said to applause from the audience, urging everyone to take action.
Michelle then introduced Kamala Harris, who came to Michigan after receiving support from Beyoncé in Texas. The famous singer said it was time for new music for America and encouraged people to vote against Donald Trump and his abortion ban. “I’m not here as a star or a politician,” Beyoncé explained, but as a mother concerned about the future of her children and the right to control their bodies.
The superstar’s endorsement is a major milestone for Harris, who is trying to regain momentum in her campaign ahead of the election. Donald Trump is also trying to make his final move: The former president gave a three-hour interview to Joe Rogan’s podcast, where he described political enemies as “internal dangers” worse than even North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. When Rogan asked him what his biggest mistake in his first term was, Trump didn’t think twice: choosing disloyal people.
Trump also floated the idea of abolishing the federal income tax and suggested a return to policies similar to those of the early twentieth century. He then touched on the topic of extraterrestrials, saying that there is no reason to rule out the possibility of life on Mars. This topic is also of great interest to Elon Musk, his political ally and space entrepreneur.
Meanwhile, both Trump and his vice president J.D. Vance’s cell phones have been hacked by a Chinese group that reportedly had access to some classified data. However, according to the New York Times, it is unclear what information was compromised. This data could prove valuable to any foreign intelligence agency interested in the United States.
