As primaries continue, Michelle Obama urges voters to press on

At a multiracial, intergenerational summit that drew celebrities to students to policymakers, Michelle Obama delivered a pull-no-punches speech saying Americans “need a remix” and a “strategy” when it comes to voting.

“I’d love to be able to tell you that everything is as it should be… that we have nothing to be afraid of … to stand up here, clear my throat, and say, ‘The state of our democracy is strong!’” the former first lady said. “But you and I, we all know, that I can’t say that right now. It has been a hard, hard few weeks for our country.”
