Trump to power.<\/p>\n<p>In her first appearance on the campaign trail during this election, Mrs. Obama, long reluctant to engage in the political arena, described the far-reaching consequences of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion, in the concrete terms of personal tragedy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf your wife is shivering and bleeding on the operating room table during a routine delivery gone bad, her pressure dropping as she loses more and more blood, or some unforeseen infection spreads and her doctors aren\u2019t sure if they can act, you will be the one praying that it\u2019s not too late,\u201d Mrs. Obama said. \u201cYou will be the one pleading for somebody, anybody, to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">And while she acknowledged the anger that many Americans feel about the \u201cslow pace of change\u201d in the country, she warned: \u201cIf we don\u2019t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women, will become collateral damage to your rage.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-large css-hxpw2c e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-1g9ic6e ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Mrs. Obama spoke about the potential risks to women\u2019s health care, saying, \u201cIf we don\u2019t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women, will become collateral damage to your rage.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Emily Elconin for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mrs. Obama\u2019s words \u2014 at a rally in Michigan where she introduced Vice President Kamala Harris \u2014 amounted to an extraordinary centering of women\u2019s bodies and their private experiences in an American presidential election. She discussed menstrual cramps and hot flashes, describing the shame and uncertainty girls and women feel about their bodies. She told women they should demand to be treated as more than \u201cbaby-making vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">And she castigated the media and many voters for holding Ms. Harris to a higher standard than her opponent, for \u201cchoosing to ignore Donald Trump\u2019s gross incompetence, while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1jjjg2j e16pjgrl0\">\n<figure class=\"sizeMedium css-sx232s\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\" data-testid=\"VideoBlock\">\n<div class=\"css-1xb94ky\"><span class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">Video<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-n27z15\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%\">\n<div class=\"css-mm3pwi\">\n<div class=\"css-1g7y0i5 e1drnplw0\"><button tabindex=\"100\" class=\"css-1rtlxy\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"close\"><svg width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\"><circle cx=\"30\" cy=\"30\" r=\"30\" fill=\"white\" fill-opacity=\"0.9\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M38.4844 20.1006L39.8986 21.5148L21.5138 39.8996L20.0996 38.4854L38.4844 20.1006Z\" fill=\"black\"\/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M21.5156 20.1006L20.1014 21.5148L38.4862 39.8996L39.9004 38.4854L21.5156 20.1006Z\" fill=\"black\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-18ow4sz e1drnplw2\">\n<div aria-labelledby=\"modal-title\" role=\"region\">\n<header class=\"css-1bzlfz\">\n<p>transcript<\/p>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"css-1igvuto\"><span>Back<\/span><\/button><\/header>\n<div class=\"css-uzyn7p\">\n<dl class=\"css-p98d0w\">\n<dt class=\"css-xx7kwh\"\/>\n<dd class=\"css-4gvq6l\">\n<p class=\"css-8hvvyd\">Now, don\u2019t get me wrong.

[cheers] We expect her to be intelligent and articulate, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger, to prove time and a time again that she belongs. But for Trump, we expect nothing at all. No understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1cueeje\" style=\"padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%;transition:opacity 300ms ease-in-out\">\n<div class=\"css-1ihorw\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2024\/10\/26\/26vid-election-blog-harris-obama-38027-cover\/26vid-election-blog-harris-obama-38027-cover-threeByTwoLargeAt2X.jpg\" alt=\"Video player loading\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"css-ktho12 e3rygrp0\"><span class=\"css-cch8ym\"><span class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">Credit<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span>Associated Press<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe expect her to be intelligent and articulate, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger, to prove time and time again that she belongs,\u201d Mrs. Obama said. \u201cBut for Trump, we expect nothing at all, no understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The crowd roared in approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But it was her remarks on women\u2019s health that most captivated the audience.<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>Mrs. Obama told her audience that Mr. Trump would further damage women\u2019s health care, while Ms. Harris has vowed to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Those protections, Mrs. Obama said, went far beyond the right to an abortion, extending to the private and vital relationships women and girls have with their doctors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mrs. Obama\u2019s message was, in part, a counterpoint to the argument her husband, former President Barack Obama, made to Black men earlier this month, when he sternly suggested that sexism might be preventing them from voting for a woman. Perhaps, Mrs. Obama seemed to say, men could instead be persuaded to vote for the women in their lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am asking you all, from the core of my being, to take our lives seriously,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">With the election 10 days away, Ms. Harris is facing an electorate deeply divided by gender. A majority of women support her. A majority of men are backing Mr. Trump. Her joint appearance with Mrs. Obama in Michigan seemed designed both to energize her female supporters and jolt men into understanding what she believes is at risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Polls in the state, which she almost certainly must win to capture the White House, show a race that is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/us\/elections\/polls-president-michigan.html\" title=\"\">essentially tied<\/a>, as in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/us\/elections\/presidential-election-swing-states.html\" title=\"\">the other battleground states<\/a> and the nation at large. President Biden won Michigan in 2020 with strong support from its Black voters, as well as Arab Americans and Muslims. But Ms. Harris is not polling as well with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/15\/us\/politics\/harris-black-voters-trump.html\" title=\"\">Black voters<\/a>, especially men, and many Arab Americans and Muslims say they will <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/07\/us\/politics\/michigan-harris-arab-muslim-jewish-voters.html\" title=\"\">not vote for her<\/a> because of the Biden administration\u2019s support for Israel in the war in Gaza. (At one point on Saturday, Ms. Harris was interrupted by a man in the crowd shouting \u201cNo more Gaza war.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Harris campaign has tried to draw the backing of other voting blocs, particularly moderate suburban women who have expressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Trump. Kalamazoo County, where she and Mrs. Obama spoke on Saturday, is a predominantly white slice of southwestern Michigan, home to many voters who chose former Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina over Mr. Trump in the state\u2019s Republican primary.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-large css-hxpw2c e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-1g9ic6e ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Ms. Harris, who took the stage in Kalamazoo after Mrs. Obama, is facing an electorate deeply divided by gender. <\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Emily Elconin for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, speaking after Mrs. Obama, Ms. Harris made what has become her standard political pitch in reaching across the aisle to women concerned about abortion rights and their safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing women scrambling across state lines to get the care they need,\u201d Ms. Harris said. \u201cDo you think Donald Trump is thinking about the consequences for the millions of women who will be living in medical deserts?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mrs. Obama had made those stakes plain, in terms that are almost never raised in the spotlight of a national campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cI want the men in the arena to bear with me on this, because there\u2019s more at stake than just protecting a woman\u2019s choice to give birth,\u201d she said. \u201cSadly, we as women and girls have not been socialized to talk openly about our reproductive health. We\u2019ve been taught instead to feel shame and to hide how our bodies work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Young girls might not know what to expect from puberty. Women \u201cmy age,\u201d she noted, don\u2019t know what to expect from menopause. Now, they face the erosion of their health care options, she said, in the wake of Dobbs, the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on abortion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cLook, a woman\u2019s body is complicated business, y\u2019all,\u201d Mrs. Obama said, to laughter. As she spoke, there were nods of agreement, incantations of \u201cYes,\u201d from around the room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cAnd in those terrifying moments when something goes wrong \u2014 which will happen at some point to the vast majority of women in this country \u2014 let me tell you, it feels like the floor falls out from under us,\u201d she said. \u201cIn those moments, all we have to rely on is our medical system, in those dark moments, all we have to rely on is our faith in a higher power and the experience of doctors to get us the care we need in a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cAnd look, I don\u2019t expect any man to fully grasp how vulnerable this makes us feel, to understand the complexities of our reproductive health experiences,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mrs. Obama spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August but has not campaigned for Ms. Harris since. She has long expressed her dislike of the campaign trail, including on Saturday, when she said,\u201cY\u2019all know I hate politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But she remains one of the most popular and unifying figures in the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In many ways, her joint appearance with Ms. Harris represented exactly the kind of generational and cultural change that the vice president has sought to emphasize in her breakneck campaign to defeat Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">After Ms. Harris finished speaking, Mrs. Obama strode back onstage. As the crowd watched, the nation\u2019s first Black first lady tightly embraced its first Black vice president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Erica L.
