Michelle Obama warns vote for Trump is vote against women's health

Former US First Lady Michelle Obama on Saturday, October 26, fired up a crowd in Michigan to vote for Kamala Harris, warning that a vote for Donald Trump was a vote against women's health.

Speaking at a rally in the southern Michigan city of Kalamazoo, Obama also drew distinctions between the two candidates on personal character and qualifications, saying there was a double standard in how Trump and Harris were being treated.

"I hope you'll forgive me that I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn," the former first lady said, urging any undecided voters to "snap out of whatever fog they're in."

Obama also addressed women's health at length, saying Trump has failed to demonstrate understanding of its complexity and that his vows to rescind the Affordable Care Act passed during her husband's presidency would affect the "entirety of women's health, all of it."

"We as women will become collateral damage to your rage," she said, later introducing Harris to an animated crowd.

Republican Donald Trump was also in the state, trying to appeal to Muslim voters some about 130 miles (210 km) away. Election Day is Nov. 5 but early voting was under way in Michigan, as it is many states.
