Michelle Obama has said that the women safety will be at risk of Donald Trump of the Republican party wins the White House seat.

She called on Americans to vote and support Kamala Harris’s bid to be America’s first female president.

She spoke during a rally in Michigan on Saturday.

Michelle cited the assault on abortion rights as the harbinger of dangerous limitations on healthcare for women.

She warned: “If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women, will become collateral damage to your rage.

“So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?”

The rally in Kalamazoo was Mrs Obama’s first appearance on the campaign trail since she spoke at the Democratic National Convention over the summer, and her remarks were searing and passionate in their support of Ms Harris.

“By every measure, she has demonstrated that she’s ready,” the former first lady said. “The real question is, as a country, are we ready for this moment?

“Do not buy into the lies that we do not know who Kamala is or what she stands for. This is somebody who understands you, all of you.”

She said she fears for the country and struggles to understand why the presidential race remains close.

“I lay awake at night wondering, ‘What in the world is going on?’” she said.

She spoke about the dangers of childbirth, when a split-second decision can mean the difference between life and death for a mother and her baby.

“I am asking y’all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously,” Mrs Obama pleaded.

Ms Harris took the stage afterwards and promised the crowd that she would serve in the interest of the people.

“There is a yearning in our country for a president who sees the people, not just looking in the mirror all the time, but sees the people, who gets you and who will fight for you,” she said.
