1. Former first lady [Michelle Obama](https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/life/2023/03/29/michelle-obama-women-of-the-year/11428683002/) will address the Democratic National Convention in her native city of Chicago on Tuesday, multiple sources have confirmed with USA TODAY.

   Michelle Obama, one of the [most popular Democratic figures](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/03/michelle-obama-would-beat-trump/74289680007/), joins an all-star lineup, including her husband, former President Barack Obama

2. First the Olympics and now this. I am excited about the Democratic National Convention.

   I feel like winning. 🥇

3. Oh good Malania Trump will fresh material to plagiarise.

4. Mama Bama for Mamala!

5. One of the pleasant benefits of Kamala running is the end of the pointless articles getting spammed saying “Micheal Obama is the only one who can beat trump”. Pretty obvious those were articles to make voters miss the Obama’s and then sit out the election.

6. No more “we go high” bullshit.

7. For the first time ever, I may actually watch this. Politics have been stressing me out so much that I haven’t been able to listen to anyone speak.

   But now it’s nice listening to people and politicians who actually show the human side of themselves when they speak.

8. Trump is going to get even more confused who he is running against.

9. I’m looking forward to see what kind of theory the WYG1WQAK7 crowd comes up with as to how this means Michelle is going to steal the nomination.

10. “When they go low, we go for the neck!”

    – Michelle 2024

11. Bu… but Newsmax said she wouldn’t be invited 3 days ago buuhuu

12. Don’t make it too good. Melania is listening!

13. Hopefully she gets the young people to finally get off their couches and vote.

14. For the love of god, don’t bring back the “They go low, we go high” bullshit. That set Democratic strategy back decades.

15. She should say something along the lines of ” As a fellow black woman and mother…” and make republican heads explode.

16. RNC didn’t even allow melania to speak at RNC.

17. It’s great to see Michelle speaking here but they really should have left the Clintons out of this. It’s just going to open a line of attack against the Democrats as the establishment party. Especially with Hillary losing to trump she shouldn’t be anywhere near that stage.

18. Looking very much forward to hearing original words from a former first lady.

19. I like Michelle Obama, I want to see that.

20. ‘When they go low, we beat the crap out of them at the polls’

21. Right-wing trolls are going to be in overdrive during DNC convention. The amount of astroturfing and propaganda cherry picking short phrases to try and divide the left is going to be massive. More so than usual too since the GOP is getting real nervous about losing, and possibly losing big.

22. “When they go low, we point out they are weird.”

23. Maybe she should run for President 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😁😁😁😁😁😁

24. Michelle Obama.

    Most popular person in American politics,

    because she really isn’t a politician.

25. Gonna be fire. She’s probably the most powerful weapon in Democrat arsenal.

    And I’m a white guy former Republican.

    Proving by saying this: VP Harris needs to find swagger and groove that this First Lady has. Some kind of hard-won fuck-you stability. Iron lady shit.

26. Trump’s combined RNC speaker list was meh compared to the Obama’s and Clinton’s. Trump couldn’t get Bush or even his former VP to say anything good about him while Harris pretty much has an all-star cast.    

      Both Obama and Clinton also have highly intelligent wives who could have made great presidents as well. It’s still a shame Hillary was so overwhelmingly disliked and slandered. She was also bad at campaigning and mostly refused to play hardball with Trump’s attacks which definitely made Trump appear even stronger to his base. 2020 would’ve been taken so much more seriously from an administration and messaging level with not ignoring doctors and scientists. Republicans are a different story.

27. Get ready for more weird transphobic rhetoric than usual from the right.
