Michelle Obama will address the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, USA Today reported.
The former first lady, one of the most popular Democrat figures, will be making the speech in her native city of Chicago on a day that the theme of the convention is scheduled to be "A Bold Vision for America's Future," multiple sources have confirmed.
Michelle Obama joins an all-star lineup including her husband, former President Barack Obama, that Democrats hope will create a buzz and rally the party faithful to back Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
Former President Bill Clinton is making an address on Wednesday, ahead of Walz's vice presidential nomination acceptance speech, while Harris is set to formally accept her party's nomination on Thursday, the last day of the convention.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to address delegates on Monday, the first day of the convention; and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, will also speak that night. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, whose city is hosting the convention, is also set to speak Monday.
Earlier this year, Michelle Obama said she was "terrified" at the prospect of Trump, who succeeded her husband as president, returning to the White House.
The former first lady gained considerable attention for her convention speech in 2016, where she said: "When they [Republicans] go low, we [Democrats] go high."
