This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

Michelle Obama has dedicated a touching playlist featuring Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Rihanna to her husband, former President Barack Obama.

The former First Lady posted a thoughtful tweet dedicated to her husband saying, "Happy #ValentinesDay to my one and only, @BarackObama. To celebrate the occasion, I'm dedicating a little Valentine's Day playlist to you!"

The Valentine's Day playlist features songs including "All of Me" by John Legend, "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey and "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele.

It's the ideal mix of nostalgia, romance and fun - something these two know a little bit about.

The former president also showed his love for his wife via Twitter writing that Michelle makes "every day and every place better."

Michelle chose perhaps the most thoughtful and spot-on gift for her partner.

During his presidency, Barack made a "tradition of sharing his reading lists and playlists."

For his "Best of 2017" list, Barack was praised for his music taste, including artists like SZA, Kendrick Lamar and Harry Styles.

Michelle's latest gift to Barack is another example of the duo's storybook romance.

Just last month, Barack surprised Michelle on her 54th birthday with a bouquet of flowers at her office.

In the post, she called her husband her "best friend and biggest fan."

When Michelle's official portrait was unveiled this week at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., he told artist Amy Sherald he appreciated her "spectacularly capturing the grace and beauty and the intelligence and charm and hotness" of his wife.
