Former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered the closing speech at Monday’s portion of the Democratic National Convention, during which she urged voters to cast ballots early and by mail where possible.
Obama also relived her iconic 2016 DNC speech, arguing that despite the current state of the country, she still believes that “going high is the only thing that works” when others go low.

“We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012,” she stated. “We’ve got to show up with the same level of passion and hope for Joe Biden. We’ve got to vote early, in person if we can, we’ve got to request our mail-in ballots right now, tonight, and send them back immediately and follow up to make sure they’re received, and then make sure our friends and families do the same.” (RELATED: White House Claims New York Lawsuit Against Trump, Postmaster General Is ‘Politically Motivated’)
