CHICAGO (AP) — Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were set to address the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, as the party draws on a coalition of its biggest stars, leaders from the far left to the middle, and even some Republicans to boost Vice President Kamala Harris ′ campaign against GOP nominee Donald Trump.

As soon as the roll call ended, Harris vowed at a packed rally in battleground Wisconsin — in the same arena where Trump accepted the GOP nomination a month earlier — to “chart a new way forward.”“Yesterday, when he was asked if he had any regrets about ending Roe v. Wade, Donald Trump — without even a moment’s hesitation — said no,” Harris says in excerpts of her remarks. “No regrets. That’s because he hasn’t had to face the consequences. Women and families have.
In an appearance perhaps intended to needle Trump, his former press secretary Stephanie Grisham — now a harsh critic of her former boss — also took the stage. Trump, meanwhile, is visiting battleground states during the convention. He went to Howell, Michigan, on Tuesday and stood aside sheriff’s deputies as he labeled Harris the “ringleader” of a “Marxist attack on law enforcement” across the country.
In his Tuesday address, Obama is expected to help affirm why Harris and Walz are the right leaders for the country at this moment, lay out the task in front of Democrats over the next 10 weeks and bring into focus the values at stake in this election and at the heart of our politics, according to a person familiar with the remarks.
