The former first lady is set to speak before her husband, Barack Obama.
Attendees hold placards as they attend Day one of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Aug. 19, 2024.
The former first lady warned that "we can not be our worst enemies" and not take things for granted in this election. Obama said she is confident that Harris would be a great leader but noted that there will be a lot of opponents who will put out lies about her. "If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don’t get a second, third, or fourth chance," she added.
"Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those 'Black jobs?'" Obama asked to a cheering crowd.
