Michelle urge US citizens to vote for Biden
Meanwhile, at the Democratic Convention, Michelle Obama, who is the wife of former US President Barack Obama, urged Americans to elect Joe Biden in the upcoming November elections in a bid to ‘end the chaos’ created by Donald Trump’s presidency. In her pre-recorded speech, Michelle acknowledged that she did not care much of politics, however, also said that Biden’s ‘steady and empathetic’ approach to problems was the answer.

She also emphasised the urgency of elections and asked voters to understand the crucial need to defeat Trump in November. She said, “If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can, and they will if we don’t make a change in this election”. In the end, Michelle added that if the US has any hope of ending the chaos, then they have to go out and vote for Biden like their ‘lives depend on it’.
