Michelle Obama’s speech Monday night at the Democratic National Convention is drawing widespread praise from TV pundits and those on social media for her ringing endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden.
The author, attorney and spouse to former President Barack Obama delivered a powerful indictment of President Donald Trump’s first term, which has been marked by a deadly pandemic, widespread civic unrest and massive unemployment.
But Obama warned that could be just the beginning.
“If you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can,” she said. “And they will if we don’t make a change in this election.

Obama also echoed her 2016 DNC speech, in which she said: “When they go low, we go high.”
