In full: Barack Obama admits election will be ‘tight’ for Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh speech

Barack Obama, the former US President, is lending some much-needed firepower to Kamala Harris’s campaign Thursday in the must-win swing state of Pennsylvania.

America’s first Black president is leading a rally in the steel city of Pittsburgh, his first stop on a tour of battleground states, to urge people to cast early votes for November’s nail-biting election.

Harris was in battleground Nevada for a town hall Thursday and heads to Arizona Friday to reach out to Latino voters. But the White House said the vice president had also taken part in a virtual briefing on deadly Hurricane Milton, which crashed into Florida overnight.

The haters are mad bc Trump doesn't have anyone backing him, republicans that worked with trump says he's not fit for office. Think about that!!

“New generation of leadership in this country”?!!! WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?! THEY’VE BEEN IN CHARGE 12 of the last 16 YEARS!!!!

[graceliamoore]

I want The United States of America to have a name of respect all over the world and we can’t do that being divided. The is strength in numbers. Trump has started something in this country that makes me sick to my stomach. Where is the love for one another? We as human beings are charged by God to love one another.❤️🇺🇸

Putin told Orban, who told trump to tank that bill.
