USA: Obama Takes Field for Harris Campaign

Barack Obama will campaign heavily for Kamala Harris in the month leading up to the November 5 US presidential election. According to the Washington Post, the former US president has planned a 27-day campaign in swing states. The first stop will be Pennsylvania, where a rally will be held in Pittsburgh on October 10.

As Obama adviser Eric Schultz explained, “President Obama believes the stakes in this election are very high, and he will do everything he can to help Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and Democrats across the country. Now that voting procedures have begun, our goal is to persuade and mobilize voters, especially in key states.”

According to an Obama aide quoted by CNN, the former president intends to help Democrats with specific ads and the use of his name in mailing campaigns aimed at campaign finance.

Obama himself, according to analysts, played a crucial role over the summer in getting Joe Biden to realize that if he had remained the presidential nominee, Democrats would have lost the election. And the former president has always presented Harris at the national convention as the heir to the political line he himself proclaimed in 2008.
