Nobody commands an audience quite like former President Barack Obama does--except for his wife, Michelle.
President Obama said as much after following her blockbuster speech at the Democratic National Convention in August when he self-deprecatingly called himself "the only person stupid enough to follow Michelle Obama."
But President Obama's speech left its mark as well--specifically, on Donald Trump.
President Obama has already been out on the campaign trail for Vice President, rallying crowds with his trademark talking points and sense of humor, but he also made sure everyone knew what was at stake if Donald Trump was to get back into the White House.
But now Michelle will be on the rally stage for the first time, sharing the spotlight with both her husband and her longtime friend, Kamala Harris.
The considerable star power of both Obamas on one stage truly can't be underestimated. Michelle Obama continues to be the most popular former First Lady, and despite her lack of interest in holding public office, her name comes up more than any other when the conversation turns to future presidential tickets.
The three will appear together on October 24th in Georgia, and Mrs. Obama will join the Vice President again in Michigan two days later. Details for which cities and venues are still being worked out in anticipation of overwhelming ticket demand.
Mrs. Obama will also headline a Get Out the Vote rally in Atlanta on October 29th. President Obama will continue his solo tour with additional appearances this weekend in Arizona and Nevada on Friday and Saturday, followed by events in Madison, Wisconsin, and Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday.
