Michelle Obama warns at DNC that Trump is 'in over his head'

“He cannot meet this moment.”“It is what it is,” Mrs. Obama said — echoing a remark Trump made recently about the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus.Citing the pandemic, the flagging economy, the political unrest that’s broken out nationwide over systemic racism and what she described as America’s lack of leadership on the world stage, Mrs. Obama said the nation is “underperforming not simply on matters of policy, but on matters of character.”In contrast, Mrs. Obama said, Biden is a “profoundly decent man” who “knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country.” She recounted how Biden has prevailed through the personal tragedy of losing his first wife, baby daughter and adult son and said Biden will “channel that same grit and passion to help us heal and guide us forward.”Republican Donald Trump succeeded President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in 2017 and has tried to undo many of Obama’s achievements on health care, the environment and foreign policy, among others.On Monday, before the event, Trump took a dig at the former first lady’s coming speech, noting that her remarks were prerecorded and that his own speech at the Republican National Convention next week will be live.“Who wants to listen to Michelle Obama do a taped speech?” he said at a rally in Wisconsin.Mrs. Obama, who leads an effort to help register people to vote, spoke about the importance of voting in the Nov. 3 election, which will take place amid a pandemic that has killed more than 170,000 Americans and infected more than 5 million in the U.S. Wearing a necklace that spelled out the word “Vote,” she noted Trump lost the popular vote but still won the White House, and “we’ve all been suffering the consequences.”Her remarks came as debate rages in Washington about U.S. Postal Service changes that are delaying mail deliveries around the country, and amid legal battles in several states over access to mail-in ballots.
