Obama is campaigning for Kamala Harris and railing against Trump

The former US President Barack Obama is campaigning for the Democratic presidential candidate in the politically hotly contested state of Pennsylvania Kamala Harris made and railed against their Republican opponent Donald Trump. “There is no indication that this man is thinking about anyone but himself,” Obama said of Trump, who is seeking a return to the White House in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

A close race

In any case, surveys suggest this close race there. What he couldn’t understand, Obama said, was why anyone would believe that Trump wanted to change things for the better. Trump is a “78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped complaining about his problems since he came down his golden escalator nine years ago.” Obama was referring to the moment when Trump first announced his presidential bid in 2015.

“There are the tweets in capital letters, the ranting and raving about crazy conspiracy theories, the two-hour speeches, the word salad, (…) the constant attempts to sell them something. Who does that?” asked Obama. Trump only cares about his ego, his money and his status. “He doesn’t think about you. For Donald Trump, power is nothing more than a means to an end.”

Pennsylvania is considered perhaps the most important state of choice in many US analyses. Because of the high number of voters, an overall victory for both candidates without this state is much more difficult.
