Former president slams Donald Trump as Democrats push to shore up support for Kamala Harris ahead of November vote.
Former United States President Barack Obama has slammed Donald Trump as a divisive figure who does not care about Americans, during a campaign rally for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Speaking in Pittsburgh on Thursday evening, Obama said the United States does “not need four more years” of ex-President Trump in the White House.
“We don’t need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America is ready to turn the page,” the former Democratic president said.
“We are ready for a better story, one that helps us work together instead of turning against each other. Pennsylvania, we’re ready for a President Kamala Harris.”
The event marked Obama’s first appearance on the campaign trail for Harris, as the election race heats up less than a month before the November 5 vote.
