Michelle Obama Doesn't Know Name of Arizona's Dem Senate Candidate

October 20, 2016

First Lady Michelle Obama on Thursday forgot the name of Arizona's Democratic candidate who is challenging Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) for his Senate seat.

During a rally in Arizona for Hillary Clinton, Obama was introducing dignitaries. Things seemed to be running smoothly until it came time to recognize Ann Kirkpatrick.

"Your members of Congress, Raul Grijalva, Ann Patrick," Obama said.

The first lady forgot the first part of Kirkpatrick's last name. Immediately afterwards, she referred to Kirkpatrick by her first name.

Obama was campaigning in Arizona in hopes that the Democrats can win the normally Republican-leaning state.
