2024 election live updates: Michelle Obama attacks 'predator' Trump during Harris rally in battleground Michigan

Trump has repeatedly falsely stated that Americans largely supported abolishing the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade and instead wanted individual states to set legal limits on abortion access.

“Donald Trump still refuses to even acknowledge the pain and suffering he has caused,” the vice president said in her address in Michigan.

“He insists that 'everyone wanted Roe V. Wade overturned.' Everyone wanted that? Women are denied care when they have miscarriages,” she said. “Some are not treated until they develop sepsis? They didn’t want that.”

Kamala Harris thanked former Republican congressman Fred Upton, who represented Kalamazoo, after his endorsement this week.

He offered his support “because, as he put it, our team is the team that brings people together, strengthens our economy and gets things done for the American people.”

During her speech in Michigan, Michelle Obama gave an overview of several common but frightening failed pregnancy scenarios.

“I don't want to be a disappointer, but in many cases there is no warning and things go wrong very quickly, and when they do, every second of hesitation or delay can have devastating consequences,” she said.

Addressing male viewers directly, she added: “As men, are you also prepared to look the women and children you love in the eye and tell them that you supported this attack on our security?”

People who withhold their voices while subjecting Harris to a purity test are making women “collateral damage for your anger,” she said. “We are more than just baby vessels.”

The former first lady's speech came after Harris held a rally on women's reproductive rights alongside music superstar Beyonce in Houston, Texas.

During her speech in Kalamazoo, Harris was briefly interrupted by chants from an anti-war protester.

“As far as Gaza is concerned, we must end this war,” she said. “We must end this war and bring the hostages home.”

She previously told reporters that she spoke with President Joe Biden today following the Israeli strikes in Iran.

“We believe it is important to support Israel’s right to self-defense. And we also firmly believe that going forward we need to achieve de-escalation in the region and that will be our focus,” she told reporters. “This war must end. We must free the hostages and work toward a two-state solution, and we firmly believe that the strength of our work on Lebanon and the region lies in part in the diplomatic work we will do to achieve this to achieve goal. ”

On the administration's Arab allies, she told the pool: “What I can say is that there is a consensus among leaders in the region, and certainly it is the strong perspective of the United States that there must be an escalation.” and not to an escalation of activities in this region.”

Obama told the crowd: “If you are a mother who has lost sleep worrying about your son becoming the victim of a nightmarish traffic stop that went wrong, if you have ever marched out there and cried for justice, Who do you think that is?” Will you have your back?

“Is it Donald Trump, who wants to run a full-page ad demonizing innocent young black teenagers in New York City, who has openly dreamed of his own version of a purge?”

Michelle Obama directed her anger at Donald Trump and those who held Kamala Harris to “higher standards” than her opponent.

“Can someone tell me why we hold Kamala to a higher standard than her opponent?” she said.

“We expect her to be intelligent, articulate, to have clear policies and never show too much anger… But for Trump? We don't expect anything at all. No understanding of politics, no ability to put together coherent arguments.”

Trump has “no honor, no decency, no morals,” she added. “People write off his “childish indecency” as “Trump just being Trump.” “Instead of questioning his terrible behavior, some people just think he’s funny.”

She added: “I hope you'll forgive me if I get a little frustrated that some of us are ignoring Donald Trump's gross incompetence and demanding that Kamala blind us at every turn.”

“I hope you will forgive me if I am a little annoyed that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his past as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, and a predator convicted of sexual abuse. ”

Obama says she has “real” fears for “our country,” “our children” and “what lies ahead if we forget what's at stake in this election.”

“You all know I hate politics, but I hate to see people taken advantage of even more,” she told rally participants in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

“I wanted to do everything in my power to remind the country that I love it, that there is too much to lose if we get it wrong.”

Michelle Obama was greeted with screams as she took the stage in Kalamazoo, Michigan, calling the city the “Kamala Zoo.”

“We need all of you. Because as you know, this race is close right now. It's too close for my taste. And I came here to Michigan because I'm someone who takes their own advice to heart.

“I know that if we want to help this country finally put an end to the politics of hate and division, we can't just sit around and complain. No, we have to do something if we want to produce the next generation of American leaders.”

Trump is “too scared” to debate Harris a second time, Obama told his supporters. Harris doesn't “duck” from interviews like Trump, she said. “She shows us what a sensible, stable leader looks like,” she said. “She doesn't lose her train of thought or stumble over her words… That's because Kamala Harris is an adult, and God knows we need an adult in the White House.”
