Former President Barack Obama is planning to hit key swing states to boost Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for the White House, starting next Thursday in Pittsburgh.
The Harris campaign says Obama will travel around the country over the final 27 days ahead of the election. The former President and Harris have a friendship that goes back 20 years, from when they first met while he was running for Senate.
Obama — along with other key Democrats — was a part of the behind-the-scenes push to persuade President Joe Biden to step away from the 2024 race — and his presence on the campaign trail will be a contrast to the relatively few stops made by Biden since he made way for Harris.
In Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention in August, he said Harris “wasn’t born into privilege. She had to work for what she’s got.”
“And she actually cares about what other people are going through,” the former President said.
Harris was an early supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential bid, and knocked doors for him in Iowa ahead of its caucus that led off voting in the Democratic Primary.

Just like George Bush – the only other living Republican ex-president, is stumping for Donald Trump!
By the way, did anyone else notice that every living president and living ex-president paid tribute to the longest-living president in US history who just turned 100? Well, with one sorry excuse of an exception.

Poor Kammy. She is trying hard to run away from the last four years but Joe is having none of that as he tries to reimagine his disastrous legacy as President. There is a reason she was the first to dropout of the 2020 Democratic nomination. She was Joe’s VP pick for one reason and one reason only.
