Michelle Obama: A Hillary Clinton presidency could be just as historic as my husband's
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. _ Hillary Clinton has sometimes struggled to blend her candidacy with a compelling personal story.
On Thursday, she got a helping hand from First Lady Michelle Obama, who compared Clinton's trajectory as potentially the first female president to the historic role played by her husband.
The U.S., she said, was not only the place where a "biracial kid from Hawaii" could win the White House, but where the "daughter of an orphan can break that highest, hardest glass ceiling," referring to President Barack Obama and to Clinton, respectively.
It was the first campaign appearance featuring both Clinton and the first lady, whose passionate stump speeches have helped frame opposition to Republican nominee Donald Trump.
