President Obama Visits Detroit to Rally Support for Gov. Whitmer and Michigan Candidates

More than 3,000 people waited for over four hours last Saturday to hear the former president speak at Renaissance High School in Detroit. He spoke for nearly one hour and, as expected, energized the crowd to get out and vote for Democratic candidates in Michigan. He repeatedly asked, “Who will fight for you?” and the crowd shouted back “Governor Whitmer and Democrats!” He said, “Democrats have actual plans.” Obama touted the major accomplishments of the Biden administration noting that Democrats have passed a major infrastructure plan, reduced costs of prescription drugs and protected health care. “And, we should all agree that women everywhere should be able to control what happens with their own bodies!” He reiterated that a lot was a stake in this election.

“Democracy is at stake” he said, “and we must elect Democrats running for office up and down the ballot if we want to save our democracy!” 

Obama urged the audience to “get out and vote for Whitmer and Gilchrist and all of the Michigan candidates who will fight for you.” When he was heckled a couple of times towards the end of his speech, and the crowd began to boo, he repeated his famous line “Don’t be distracted….don’t boo…they can’t hear your boo. Vote! They can hear your vote!” The crowd cheered long and loud. He ended his remarks by encouraging everyone to make sure that they get their families, friends and colleagues to the polls on November 8th.

El presidente Obama visitó Detroit como apoyo a la gobernadora Whitmer y a los Candidatos de Míchigan

El sábado pasado, más de 3.000 personas esperaron durante más de cuatro horas para escuchar el discurso del expresidente Obama en la escuela de Detroit Renaissance High School, quien habló durante casi una hora y, como se esperaba, alentó a la multitud a salir a votar por los candidatos demócratas de Michigan. En repetidas ocasiones hizo la pregunta: “¿Quién luchará por ustedes?” y la multitud gritó “¡La gobernadora Whitmer y los demócratas!” Dijo: “Los demócratas tienen planes reales”. Obama resaltó los principales logros de la administración Biden y señaló que los demócratas han aprobado un importante plan de infraestructura, reducción de costos en los medicamentos prescritos y atención médica confidencial. “¡Todos deberíamos estar de acuerdo en que las mujeres de todas partes deberían poder controlar lo que sucede con sus propios cuerpos!” Reiterando que había mucho en juego en estas elecciones. 

“La democracia está en juego”, dijo, “¡y debemos elegir a los demócratas que se están postulando para los diferentes cargos, de arriba a abajo en la boleta electoral si queremos salvar nuestra democracia!”. 

Obama instó a la audiencia “salgan a votar por Whitmer y Gilchrist y por todos los candidatos de Michigan que lucharán por ustedes”. Cuando fue interrumpido un par de veces al final de su discurso, y la multitud comenzó a abuchear, repitió su famosa frase “No se distraigan… no abucheen… ellos no pueden escuchar su abucheo”. ¡Voten! ¡Ellos pueden escuchar su voto!” La multitud vitoreó largo y fuerte. Finalmente alentó a todos a asegurarse de llevar a sus familias, amigos y colegas a las urnas el 8 de noviembre. Traducción por Carmen Elena Luna
