Former United States President Barack Obama is preparing to increase his support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. A strong alliance in the tight duel with Donald Trump, a month before this crucial vote.
The victory against Donald Trump? Barack Obama says “yes we can”. The former Democratic president will strengthen his support for Kamala Harris, his party’s candidate for the White House. A deception operation by a political heavyweight that comes at the right time, a month before an election that risks being played in a pocket handkerchief.
As Politico reports, Barack Obama is expected to travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, next Thursday to kick off his lobbying campaign. An insignificant starting point, this state being part of the swing state, the territories tending sometimes towards the Republicans, sometimes towards the Democrats. Voters are completely attracted, the states could swing the entire election.
Eric Schultz, the former president’s senior adviser, assures the Washington Post that the Democratic leader will “do everything he can to help elect Vice President Kamala Harris.”
“We are focusing on voter mobilization, especially in states where important elections are taking place,” he explains. “These elections are likely to be very close and nothing should be taken for granted.”
“Kamala is ready for this job”
Barack Obama’s entry into the fray in favor of vice president Joe Biden is no surprise. During the Democratic convention, after the current tenant of the White House withdrew, the Obama couple declared their sincere support for Kamala Harris.
He could play a crucial role in getting some people to vote – especially among young and African-American voters – and the election looks undecided.
“Kamala is ready for this job. She is someone who has spent her life fighting for the people who need a voice and a champion. Kamala was not born with privilege. She had to work to get what she has, and she is really. what other people are doing is great,” Barack Obama praised on August 20th.
The influential politician also helped the candidate to collect money, already $76 million, by participating in events or collections organized by the party everywhere as part of the campaign. A reason back for the one who supported the first African-American president in 2008, knocking on doors and collecting money for the one she hopes will succeed.
