Obama is expected to speak on the second day of the convention.
The revered Democratic figure now adds to the esteemed line-up of speakers, such as her husband former President Barack Obama, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. To kick the convention off, President Joe Biden and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will begin the speeches.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Obama, both speakers will address the delegates on Tuesday. With the day’s theme of “A Bold Vision For America’s Future,” the former first lady will encourage the audience to get out the vote and defeat Donald Trump in the November election.
Obama has continued her path toward inspiring hope while on the periphery of politics. Most recently, she announced the upcoming release of her workbook, Overcoming. Inspired by her second novel, The Light We Carry, the book includes writing prompts and activities to spark one’s own light.
